The process of male meiosis in plants is fundamental to the formation of viable pollen grains. It involves a series of highly regulated cell divisions in which diploid pollen mother cells undergo ...

CDC45 is required for the initiation of DNA replication in yeast and cell proliferation in mammals and functions as a DNA polymerase α loading factor in Xenopus. We have cloned a CDC45 homolog from ...

Trude Schwarzacher, Meiosis, recombination and chromosomes: a review of gene isolation and fluorescent in situ hybridization data in plants, Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 54, No. 380, Special ...

Meiosis is a key event for stable sexual reproduction using a unique form of a cell division to generate haploid recombined gametes. It comprises one round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of ...

As viewed from a human perspective, nature has done some ingenious engineering to overcome some of the obstacles it has faced. Take the evolution of sex, for instance. To make the move from asexual to ...

Most of the time, when a cell in our bodies divides, each new cell carries a complete set of chromosomes. The cells involved with human reproduction, however, carry only half after division occurs. In ...

Embark on an exciting journey to uncover the wonders of cell division as we explore mitosis and meiosis. In this captivating explanation, we'll delve into how cells divide and pass on genetic ...
