The result of nondisjunction is the production of gametes that are aneuploid, carrying the wrong number of chromosomes. When such a gamete is involved in a fertilization event, the resulting zygote is also aneuploid. Those cases where the embryo carries an extra copy of a given chromosome are ...
ends of the cell. In anaphase, the chromosomes from each chromatid pair separate and begin to move toward opposite ends of the cell. During telophase, the cell divides into two new daughter cells, each with half the original number of chromosomes. In second telophase, each of the two ...
CO2. Transfer of excitation energy from excited chlorophylls to oxygen in the light-harvesting complexes leads to the formation of1O2and O2●-, which can be further converted to H2O2and OH●. The production of ROS is enhanced by strong light and also by deceleration of the Calvin cycle [28...
divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II) occur without the chromosomal replication in between, leading to the production of four haploid gametes, each containing one of every pair of homologous chromosomes (that is, with the maternal and paternal chromosomes being distributed randomly between the cells)...
Meiosis is a type of cell division which produces four daughter cells. Each of these cells consists of half the number of chromosomes present in the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores. A. Meiosis I: Here, the pairs of homologouschromosomesare separated and a speci...
While errors can and do occur during meiosis, the basic program of reducing the number of chromosomes before dividing into gametes ensures that most offspring wind up with the correct number of chromosomes. Phases of Meiosis Meiosis includes two phases, calledmeiosis Iand meiosis II, which occur ...

The cell cycle refers to the process of cellular growth and division that is experienced by cells in the human body. During the stages of mitosis, two new diploid somatic cells are produced. By contrast, meiosis results in the production of four haploid gametes. Diploid refers to the condition...

In bud- ding and fission yeast, poor nutrient conditions are the cue to embark on the meiotic cell cycle, which culmi- nates in the production of spores4,5. The decision to enter the meiotic cell cycle is made in G1 phase and this affects the way in which the G1–S transition is...
