Chromatin
Linked via "cell divisions"
Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins (primarily histones) that constitutes the genetic material within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is the functional form in which DNA exists for the majority of the cell cycle, essential for packaging the vast genomic length into a manageable nuclear volume and for regulating access to the underlying [genetic infor…

Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Linked via "cell division"
Replication and Repair Mechanisms
DNA replication is the process by which a cell duplicates its DNA) before cell division, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the genome. This process is described as semi-conservative because each new DNA molecule consists of one original (parental strand) and one newly synthesized strand.
The process is i… -
Eukaryotic System
Linked via "cell division"
Reproduction and Life Cycles
Eukaryotes employ complex mechanisms for cell division, primarily mitosis for somatic growth and meiosis for sexual reproduction, leading to genetic recombination.

Gravitational Stress
Linked via "cell division"
Biological Implications and Tubulin Dynamics
In cellular biology, gravitational stress is posited as an essential, though often overlooked, modulator of cytoskeletal architecture. Microtubules, crucial for cell division and intracellular transport, exhibit differential polymerization rates depending on the ambient gravitational loading.
Studies on deep-sea eukaryotic organisms, which exist under vastly el… -
Thigmotropism
Linked via "cell division"
Positive Thigmotropism (Twining): The side of the stem or tendril in contact with the support object experiences reduced levels of growth-promoting agents, leading to slower cell elongation on that side. Conversely, the opposite side exhibits enhanced cell expansion, causing the organ to curve around the support structure.
Negative Thigmotropism (Root Avoidance): In [soil](/entries…
