Germ cells undergo meiosis, e.g. primary spermatocytes and primary oocytes in males and females, respectively and in pollen mother cells and... View Article
Without meiosis, the number of chromosomes will not remain constant in a species across generations and will be duplicated every time after... View Article
Meiosis is a reduction division, which leads to the formation of four daughter cells having half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.... View Article
Meiosis occurs in the ovaries of a female. Primary oocytes undergo meiosis during oogenesis, i.e. the formation of mature female gametes or eggs.... View Article
Meiosis is a reduction division, wherein the number of chromosomes is reduced to half in the daughter cells. Male and female gametes are formed... View Article
Crossing over is an enzyme-mediated process, where the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes takes... View Article
Yes, plants also undergo mitosis and meiosis similar to animal cells. Mitosis is required for growth, asexual reproduction and regeneration.... View Article
Mitosis is the process by which an organism grows and repairs damaged tissues. Some organisms use mitosis to reproduce asexually. The offspring... View Article
The shortest phase of mitosis is anaphase, which comes after metaphase. In this phase, the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite... View Article
Mitosis occurs rapidly in the growing regions, the dermis of the skin, where cells are replaced continuously, the region of wound healing, etc.... View Article
If cytokinesis does not occur after nuclear division (karyokinesis) then it will result in a multinucleated cell with more than one nuclei.... View Article
Mitosis helps in growth, repairing damaged tissues and regeneration. Various cells have a shorter life span and are continuously in need to be... View Article
Meiosis occurs at the time of male and female gamete formation during sexual reproduction. Mitosis occurs in the somatic cells for growth, repair... View Article
Mitosis occurs during asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, gametes are not produced and the offspring is genetically identical or clone... View Article
Mitosis is an equational division resulting in the formation of identical cells. It is required for the growth, repair and regeneration of... View Article
Haemoglobin is the respiratory pigment present in the RBCs and is responsible for carrying oxygen. Due to mutation in the genes, there are... View Article
Yes, yeast is classified as fungi even though they are unicellular. They belong to the class Ascomycetes. The cell wall is made up of chitin and... View Article
No, yeast is unicellular and eukaryotic but is classified as fungus and not in the kingdom Protista due to more similarities with the kingdom... View Article
DNA is the genetic material present in all living cells except a few viruses. It is made up of nucleotides, which has three components. They are... View Article
