Individual cells reproduce through the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Both mitosis and meiosis have two key components - division of the genetic material (usually accomplished through prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) and division of the cell body/cytoplasm. This latter step occurs via...
The lowest NDI value possible is 1.0, which occurs if all of the viable cells have failed to divide during the cytokinesis-block period and are therefore all mononucleated. If all viable cells completed one nuclear division and are therefore all binucleated, the NDI value is 2.0. An NDI val...
It also shows that, in wild-type cells, breakage occurs after dicentric refolding. Breakage Near Centromeres in Shorter Dicentrics Still Requires Condensin To further explore the importance of chromosome condensation on dicentric breakage positions, we addressed the severing of dicentrics with shorter ...
Endoreduplication is a variant of the cell cycle in which the nuclear genome is replicated but not gone through mitosis or cytokinesis, resulting in polyploidy (Sugimoto-Shirasu and Roberts, 2003). Endoreduplication usually occurs in the quickly developed or differentiated tissues, which have high met...
Yeast cells reproduce asexually by an asymmetric division process called budding. In yeast, budding usually occurs duringthe abundant supply of nutrition. In this process of reproduction, a small bud arises as an outgrowth of the parent body. ... The newly created bud divides and grows into a...
