Beyond carrying out the tasks of routine metabolism, the cell must duplicate its components — most importantly, its genome — so that it can physically split into two complete daughter cells.

(Cytokinesis describes the division of the rest of the cell.) Almost all of the DNA duplication in your body is carried out through mitosis. Meiosis, as described above, is the process by which ...

For instance, deletions that span a centromere result in an acentric chromosome that will most likely be lost during cell division. As with duplications, deletions can affect gene dosage and thus ...

In the early 1900s, several scientists including Theodor Boveri and Walter Sutton watched cells duplicate and discovered chromosomes. Finally, they had linked Mendel’s mathematics about traits ...

A team led by University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health geneticists has shown, for the first time, that a gene "silencer" that resides in junk DNA is directly sparing people from a devastating ...

Then, click "OK" when Excel reminds you that you're about to replace some data. To duplicate the contents of a cell, row, or column where data is already entered, select the relevant cell ...

Gene duplication is very important for the evolution of species because it can facilitate the creation of new genes. Normally, changes to genes result in loss of function and so are weeded out by ...

Credit: Hatakeyama and Ohbayashi Each cell randomly inherits genome copies ... and Susumu Ohno's neofunctionalization by gene duplication—are not mutually exclusive. Instead, both theories ...
