Meiosis – The Genetics of Reproduction Meiosis is a form of cell division that creates gametes. It is comprised of two divisions that in the end, the resulting cell will contain half the chromosomal number of the parent cell. Know the different stages here......
Paternal diet can influence the phenotype of the next generation, yet, the dietary components inducing specific responses in the offspring are not identified. Here, we use the Nutritional Geometry Framework to determine the effects of pre-conception pate
Influenza during pregnancy can affect the health of offspring in later life, among which neurocognitive disorders are among the best described. Here, we investigate whether maternal influenza infection has adverse effects on immune responses in offspring
The field of biology involves genetics which tackles the science of the genetic materials (or genes) for a living organism. There are genetic disorders that are studied in genetics and this branch of biology helps to explain and underst...
The human family may have originated when symbolic definition and generalization was given to some such system of behavioral relations already present in populations of the ancestors of the human species.doi:10.1002/ajpa.1330230115SadeDonald Stone...

We had selected non-live vaccines for the experiments to ensure any effects we detected were only related to the effect of producing the associated immune response, without any costs associated with the pathology caused by parasitism or infection which, by definition, incurs a direct cost to the...

Thus, it is essential to quantify PI according to its ultimate definition, that is, to measure any investment by a parent that enhances offspring fitness at the expense of the parent's expectation for additional offspring (Fig. 1)1,2,4,15. Second, the conflict is among genes, not traits...
