Three key steps in meiosis allow diploid organisms to produce haploid gametes: (1) homologous chromosomes (homologs) pair and undergo crossovers; (2) homologs segregate to opposite poles; and (3) sister chromatids segregate to opposite poles. The XX/XO sex determination system found in many nematodes facilitates the study of meiosis because variation is easily recognized. Here we show that meiotic segregation of X chromosomes in the trioecious nematode Auanema rhodensis varies according to sex (hermaphrodite, female, or male) and type of gametogenesis (oogenesis or spermatogenesis). In this species, XO males exclusively produce X-bearing sperm. The unpaired X precociously separates into sister chromatids, which co-segregate with the autosome set to generate a functional haplo-X sperm. The other set of autosomes is discarded into a residual body. Here we explore the X chromosome behavior in female and hermaphrodite meioses. Whereas X chromosomes segregate following the canonical pattern during XX female oogenesis to yield haplo-X oocytes, during XX hermaphrodite oogenesis they segregate to the first polar body to yield nullo-X oocytes. Thus, crosses between XX hermaphrodites and males yield exclusively male progeny. During hermaphrodite spermatogenesis, the sister chromatids of the X chromosomes separate during meiosis I, and homologous X chromatids segregate to the functional sperm to create diplo-X sperm. Given these intra-species, intra-individual, and intra-gametogenesis variations in the meiotic program, A. rhodensis is an ideal model for studying the plasticity of meiosis and how it can be modulated. Crosses between A. rhodensis hermaphrodites and males generate only male progeny Hermaphrodites generate mostly nullo-X oocytes and diplo-X sperm Following normal Mendelian genetics, XX females produce haplo-X oocytes In cross-progeny, sons always inherit the X chromosome from the father Tandonnet et al. show that the X chromosomes segregate differently between sexes and type of gametogenesis in the three-sexed nematode A. rhodensis: hermaphrodites produce diplo-X sperm and nullo-X oocytes, whereas females produce haplo-X oocytes. Furthermore, it has a unique form of X chromosome heritability, from father to son.
