To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells during cell division, each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies.How the cell ...

For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA -- its genome -- and segregate it equally into two new daughter cells. To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells ...

Cells use many complex genetic repair backup systems to fix DNA damage and remain healthy throughout their lives.

The human body is made up of billions of cells. These cells grow and divide through a process called cell division. There are ...

Females have one active X chromosome and one dormant X chromosome in each cell. But a study suggests that genes on the dormant X get "reawakened" later in life, potentially giving the brain a boost.
