Like mitosis, meiosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division. However, these two processes distribute genetic material among the resulting daughter cells in very different ways. Mitosis creates two ...

In most multicellular organisms, meiosis is restricted to germ cells that are set aside in early development. The germ cells reside in specialized environments provided by the gonads, or sex organs.

The four gametes produced in meiosis are genetically different ... During fertilisation the haploid nucleus of a sperm cell and the haploid nucleus of an egg cell fuse together to form a diploid ...

when the parent cell combines with another parent cell, the proper amount of DNA is maintained. This solution is called meiosis. Mitosis describes the process by which the nucleus of a cell ...

Welcome to Mitosis vs. Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates mitosis—the division of a cell's nucleus. Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a ...

A "pocket" on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Two studies by researchers at the University of Konstanz investigated ...

We also study how DSBs are processed and repaired and we are seeking to expand knowledge of meiotic processes more generally through discovery of new genes important for germ cell function. Most of ...

The four products of meiosis are arranged in a linear tetrad, and only the lower cell develops into an egg, so this polar positioning increases the likelihood that Ab10 ends up in the egg. This model ...
