Cells of the body that contain two sets of chromosomes are called diploid. Meanwhile, germ line cells, which go on to produce egg or sperm cells, are called haploid because they contain half the ...

Syngenta Biotechnology China-led research, with partners in the U.S., France, the UK, Chile, the Netherlands, Argentina, and ...

Genomic changes in the infectious yeast Candida tropicalis may play a role in its resistance to antifungals, according to a ...

To fuse chromosomes in mice, the researchers used a technology they first developed in yeast: briefly, they injected modified haploid mouse embryonic stem cells friend (haESCs) with a CRISPR-Cas9 ...

During meiosis, the pairs of homologous chromosome are divided in half to form haploid cells, and this separation, or assortment, of homologous chromosomes is random. This means that all of the ...

The protocols describe in detail all steps of DH production- from donor plant growth conditions, through in vitro procedures, media composition and preparation, to regeneration of haploid plants and ...

Females have two X chromosomes (XX). Males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). All eggs contain one X chromosome. Half of sperm contain one X chromosome and half contain one Y chromosome.

The nucleus of a germline stem cell undergoes two divisions, firstly separating homologous chromosomes and secondly separating chromatids. Haploid gametes contain 23 single chromosomes.

When homologous chromosomes pair in female meiosis in the hybrid ... During oogenesis, only one of the haploid cells created by meiosis survives. The others, called polar bodies, die. This sets up an ...

Genomic changes in the infectious yeast Candida tropicalis may play a role in its resistance to antifungals, according to a new study. These genomic changes can be brought on by a common antifungal, ...
