  In a reciprocal translocation heterozygote during meiosis the segregation of a translocated and a normal chromosome together, giving unbalanced gametes with duplications and deficiencies leading to non-viable zygotes. Adjacent segregation is of two kinds depending on whether non-homologous (adjacent-1) or homologous (adjacent-2) centromeres segregate together. Adjacent-1 segregation is the usual type of adjacent segregation, adjacent-2 segregation is rare.
