During meiosis, the cell division process central to sexual reproduction, all chromosomes must figure out where to destroy ...

Chromosomes are often observed and depicted as X-shaped structures. DNA takes this form following DNA replication during the process of cell division when the two replicated chromosomes ...

Each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. These can be arranged into 23 pairs. Each chromosome in a pair carries the same types of genes. The 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes: In females ...

Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a parent cell dividing into two daughter cells. The genetic information within each of these daughter cells is ...
