Preventing aneuploidy: The groom must wait until the bride is ready

Fertilization often triggers the final step of haploidization of the female gamete genome. In this issue, Mori et al. (2021. J.

Sumario:Fertilization often triggers the final step of haploidization of the female gamete genome. In this issue, Mori et al. (2021. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202012001) identify two successive actin-dependent mechanisms that delay fusion of maternal and paternal chromosomes, preventing inadvertent elimination of paternal chromosomes together with maternal ones.
