For a living cell to divide successfully, each daughter cell must inherit the correct genetic material. In eukaryotes, segregation of duplicated chromosomes is performed by the mitotic spindle, a ...

Chromosome segregation and cell division are critical processes that ensure the accurate distribution of genetic material to daughter cells during cell division. This process is essential for ...

Each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. These can be arranged into 23 pairs. Each chromosome in a pair carries the same types of genes. The 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes: In females ...

Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact ...

Macquarie University researchers, alongside an international team, have achieved a significant milestone in synthetic biology by completing the final chromosome of the world's first synthetic yeast ...

A decade earlier, my doctoral work had centered on trying to understand how chromosomes in normal cells are evenly distributed between the two daughter cells during mitosis. The process is so ...

Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact ...

Each replicated chromosome is made up of two identical strands called chromatids that are joined together. Each chromatid is a full length DNA molecule. The stages outlined in the following ...

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during ...

Researchers say study represents a resource that could also help to dissect Y-gene functions in other tissues.
