During meiosis, sister chromatids produced by chromosome duplication are held together by Rec8, a meiosis-specific cohesion protein. Rec8 joins the whole length of the sister chromatids together ...

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

Meiosis is the generation of germ cells (eggs and sperm). In meiosis, DNA replication is followed by two division cycles: meiosis I, which segregates homologous chromosomes and meiosis II, which ...

This solution is called meiosis. Mitosis describes the process by which the nucleus of a cell divides to create two new nuclei, each containing an identical copy of DNA. (Cytokinesis describes the ...

Welcome to Mitosis vs. Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates mitosis—the division of a cell's nucleus. Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a ...

The process of meiosis happens in the male and female reproductive organs. As a cell divides to form gametes: ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers led by Prof. TONG Minghan from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science (Shanghai Institute of ...

The other type of cell division is called meiosis. See more about meiosis in this study guide which explains the difference between mitosis and meiosis. BBC Bitesize has lots of quizzes and exam ...
