Mitosis, meiosis. You probably know that both of these processes have something to do with cells.But what’s the difference between the function of mitosis and thefunction of meiosis,and why do you need to know the difference? —To understand how mitosis and meiosis are related, the first t...
Based on this and on our own findings reported here, we propose that tethering of broken chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis may be an ancient and highly conserved function of MDC1. In this context, it is interesting to note that Mdb1, the S. pombe MDC1 ortholog, was recently shown ...
Discussions on the origin of sex typically overlook its association with protozoan entry into dormant walled cysts and the likely simultaneous coevolutionary, not sequential, origin of mitosis and meiosis. Results I elucidate nuclear and mitotic coevolution, explaining the origins of dicer and small ...
The discovery of the mitotic checkpoint provided a molecular explanation for the early observation that during prometaphase, the spindle can be destroyed and then allowed to reform multiple times without ultimately compromising the fidelity of mitosis (Mazia 1961). This is true as long as the ...
