This process involves replication of the cell's chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA, and splitting of the ... eukaryotic cells may divide via either mitosis or meiosis.

the proper amount of DNA is maintained. This solution is called meiosis. Mitosis describes the process by which the nucleus of a cell divides to create two new nuclei, each containing an identical ...

Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the ...

The genome incorporation mechanism for LINE-1, the only autonomously active retrotransposon in humans, leverages the cell ...

have identified rules that tell cells how to fold DNA into the tightly packed, iconic X-shaped chromosomes formed during mitosis that help ensure the accurate passing of genetic information ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

Mitosis will produce two daughter cells which are genetically identical to the parent cell. If this is a human cell, it will contain all 46 chromosomes with the full DNA to make an exact copy of ...

The only remaining autonomous 'jumping gene' can only attach to, and stitch a copy of itself into, DNA when it builds up into large clusters and only as cells divide.

Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells ... These new combinations result from the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes. Such exchange means that the gametes produced through meiosis ...
