Evolutionary Dynamics of Unreduced Gametes

Trends in Genetics, 2017
Unreduced gametes, which have the somatic (2n) chromosome number, are an important precursor to polyploid formation and apomixis. The product of irregularities in meiosis, 2n gametes are expected to be rare and deleterious in most natural populations, contrary to their wide taxonomic distribution and the prevalence of polyploidy.

ORIGIN OF FRAGARIA POLYPLOIDS. II. UNREDUCED AND DOUBLED‐UNREDUCED GAMETES

American Journal of Botany, 1970
Offspring from natural hybrids between octoploid Fragaria chiloensis (2n = 56) and diploid F. vesca (2n = 14) backcrossed under natural conditions to F. chiloensis were studied. The natural F1 hybrids themselves were of three kinds: (1) The expected pentaploids which resulted from the union of normally reduced gametes of diploid F.

Unreduced gametes: meiotic mishap or evolutionary mechanism?

Trends in Genetics, 2015
Unreduced gametes (gametes with the somatic chromosome number) are known to facilitate polyploid formation. Unreduced gametes result from a plethora of different mechanisms across different taxa, suggesting that the ability to produce unreduced gametes has evolutionary utility.
