Learn to define synapsis. Find out what happens during synapsis in meiosis. Understand crossing over in meiosis and terms such as chiasmata,...
Figure 1. This simplified gene is composed of four regions. The promoter binds to an RNA polymerase in an on-off fashion and controls whether mRNA can be made. The beginning stretch of RNA is not ultimately translated into protein at the ribosome, and neither is the terminal region. gene...
Each somatic embryo is an organized mass of tissue capable of developing into a complete plant. Somatic embryos are very similar to zygotic embryos developed in seed, except that they develop without involvement of reduction cell division (meiosis) and they are often bigger in size. Changes in...
Like SD, it does not necessarily follow that any synthetic drive element will increase in frequency to the extent that it displaces all wildtype alleles initially present in the wild population. This fixation property is dependent on various drive parameters of the developed system. Other such pro...
