Cell division has the sense of renewal of body substance and production of reproductive cells. There are two types of cell division: … Cell Division: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The cellular memory hypothesis assumes information storage at the molecular genetic and cellular levels. The best-known example of cellular memory is with the antigen memory of the immune system. Meanwhile, the BMI1 protein of cellular memory is associated with carcinogenesis. What is cellular memory? The cellular memory hypothesis assumes information storage at the molecular genetic … Cellular Memory: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The cell cycle is a regularly occurring sequence of different phases in a body cell. The cell cycle always begins after a cell divides and ends after the next cell division is completed. What is the cell cycle? The cell cycle always starts after a division of the cell and ends after the completion of … Cell Cycle: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The karyoplasm is the name given to the protoplasm within cell nuclei, which differs from the cytoplasm particularly in its electrolyte concentration. For DNA replication and transcription, the karyoplasm provides an optimal environment. In diabetic patients, nuclear inclusions of glycogen may be present in the karyoplasm. What is karyoplasm?

The influence of genes on the human body has been the subject of intense scientific research for many years. Although great progress has already been made in decoding the human genome, there are still some controversial points: What part do genes as well as environmental influences play in the expression of certain physical and psychological … Height and Body Weight
Aneuploidy screening is used to detect numerical chromosomal aberrations in embryos created in vitro and intended for implantation. It is a cytogenetic test that can only detect numerical aberrations of specific chromosomes. Aneuploidy screening thus represents a form of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). What is aneuploidy screening? Aneuploidy screening is used only in in vitro … Aneuploidy Screening: Treatment, Effects & Risks
