Fusion

... is the scientific study of prehistoric polyploid speciation events. Chromosome Speciation (fast - Human, Fruit Fly, Mosquito) Chromosome fusion speciation[17] is the result of two chromosomes joining to become a single one which in turn causes enough of a change in behavior and morphology ...

... didn't know that before. You have the right idea with balanced and unbalanced. What I am most wondering is whether during meiosis a fully balanced fusion that only involves the telomeres could even result in unbalanced germ cells. It would seem that the chromosomes would still properly align along ...

I am working on human chromosomal speciation but cannot confirm how a "head to head telomeric fusion" (not a Robertsonian translocation) such as human chromosome 2 would express itself in the first generations. About 2/3 down there is a paper with a Punnett square ...

Thank you. Interesting argument on the extra-Kozak and start codon... So is it even better to leave a few extra amino acids as for a linker in a fusion protein? First I thought the best is if the reporter sequence and "our protein" is right next to each other. It makes sense though that ...

Hi i have a query and i cant seem to find the answer anywhere. As i am sure you all know, chromosome 2 is the the result of a fusion of two chromosomes and it therefore contains 2 centromeres and 4 telomeres. My question is this, durning the chromosome duplication at the start of mitosis ...
