Meiosis
Why should a biologist care about rheology? Actually, biologists used to care a lot more about rheology than they have lately. A prominent physiology text from the 1950s (An outline of general physiology by L. Heilbrunn) stated that “In any attempt to interpret the machinery of a living cell, it is essential to know something about the mechanical properties of the protoplasm in the cell that is...
متن کاملMeiosis.
Sexual reproduction requires the production of haploid gametes (sperm and egg) with only one copy of each chromosome; fertilization then restores the diploid chromosome content in the next generation. This reduction in genetic content is accomplished during a specialized cell division called meiosis, in which two rounds of chromosome segregation follow a single round of DNA replication. In prep...
متن کاملRoles for Caenorhabditis elegans rad-51 in meiosis and in resistance to ionizing radiation during development.
We have investigated the role of Caenorhabditis elegans RAD-51 during meiotic prophase and embryogenesis, making use of the silencing effect of RNA interference (RNAi). rad-51 RNAi leads to severe defects in chromosome morphology in diakinesis oocytes. We have explored the effect of rad-51 RNAi in mutants lacking fundamental components of the recombination machinery. If double-strand breaks are...
متن کاملMeiosis: How Male Flies Do Meiosis
In meiosis in male fruitflies, chromosome pairing events do not facilitate genetic exchange, but rather create bivalents that can be sequestered to discrete pockets of the prophase nucleus. This assignment of homologs to a common pocket likely facilitates the orientation of homologous centromeres to opposite poles.
متن کاملMitosis and Meiosis
Introduction As we discussed in class, biological growth is a multi-dimensional phenomena. In essence, the basic unit of life, the cell, must duplicate itself. One "mother" cell must become two "daughter" cells, through the process of Cell Division, mostly MITOSIS. This is a completely asexual event and involves replication of the nucleus and its constituents and dividing up of the cytoplasm, t...
