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.

Recent work has clarified how higher eukaryotic cells 'licence' DNA replication precisely once per cycle. An inhibitor, geminin, prevents replication before mitosis by inhibiting the replication ...

Each chromatid is a full length DNA molecule. The stages outlined in ... It can be seen in the stages shown above that mitosis maintains the chromosome number or complement of a cell.

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 ...

This study provides valuable findings on the role of site-specific DNA methylation changes during spermatogenesis and their contribution to paternal epigenetic inheritance. The study proposes that ...

Checkpoint activation results in the stabilization of stalled forks, prevents further origin firing, and creates a cellular milieu that promotes the resolution of replication fork blocks before entry ...

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