In the so-called MiMe system (Mitosis instead of Meiosis) the cell division mimics a mitosis, thus sidestepping genetic recombination and segregation, and produces sex cells that are exact clones of ...

Mitosis and meiosis are the key steps in ensuring the faithful inheritance of genetic material. During these processes, the chromosomes condense, align on the central plate and segregate. However, ...

Mitosis and meiosis are both processes by which cells reproduce, but there are distinct differences between the two. While new cells are generated during mitosis, meiosis is a special type of cell ...

Synopsis The outer NPC scaffold is built by rings of Y‐complexes. Whereas the bulk of Y‐complexes is solubilized during mitosis, a fraction of Y‐complexes is found in association with the mitotic ER ...

Mitosis ensures the continuity of genetic information, allowing cells to grow and repair in a controlled and precise manner. Meiosis, on the other hand, introduces genetic diversity, contributing ...

Mitosis and meiosis are two kinds of cell division that are essential to most forms of life on earth. Here we investigate the key differences and similarities between the two processes.

Fun demonstration of mitosis using paper plates and pipe cleaners. Learn about the 5 stages of mitosis and what happens at each stage.

A team from MSKCC establish a mechanistic paradigm for the recombination of the X and Y chromosomes during meiosis.

"Meiosis is reductional," said M. Andrew Hoyt, a biologist and professor at Johns Hopkins University. Unlike in mitosis, the daughter cells produced during meiosis are genetically diverse.

Turner makes the topic fun and easy to grasp by using lines such as "Meiosis is the key to making life" and "Mitosis copies cells about to die" without skipping a beat.
