How is the same process responsible for genetic recombination and diversity also the cause of aneuploidy? Understanding the steps of meiosis is essential to learning how errors occur. Researchers ...

Like mitosis, meiosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division. However, these two processes distribute genetic material among the resulting daughter cells in very different ways. Mitosis creates two ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers report the successful in vitro reconstitution of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks ...

It met this challenge by devising (again, speaking from a human perspective) a system by which parent cells incorporate genetic information ... This solution is called meiosis.

Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates ... mitosis results in a parent cell dividing into two daughter cells. The genetic information within each of these daughter cells is identical.
