In the process of replicating themselves, cells have another choice: do they want to make an identical copy and be left with two cells? Or do they want to make four “half-copies”, in preparation for ...

All cells arise from other cells through the process of cell division. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that produces reproductive cells, such as plant and fungal spores and sperm and ...

Embark on an exciting journey to uncover the wonders of cell division as we explore mitosis and meiosis. In this captivating explanation, we'll delve into how cells divide and pass on genetic ...

How is the same process responsible for genetic recombination and diversity also the cause of aneuploidy? Understanding the steps of meiosis is essential to learning how errors occur. Researchers' ...

The chromatids (now also considered chromosomes) arrive at the opposite ends of the cell, and new nuclear membranes form. Mitosis, which describes only the division of the nucleus, is now complete. As ...

FROM observations made in this laboratory by S. G. Smith, E. Marie Hearne, Jane D. Spier, J. M. Armstrong, A. W. S. Hunter, and me on meiosis and both haploid and diploid mitosis in Trillium, ...

Mating and meiosis -- the specialized cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a cell -- are related, but in most yeasts they are regulated separately. Not so in Candida lusitaniae, ...
