An accepted theory that chromosomes are the material of inheritance, and that they are associated in paternal-maternal pairings; dervied from the collective work of Boveri, Sutton, and Morgan.

Nonetheless, Mendel and Darwin's work laid the foundation for formulating a testable, research-based theory of heredity. Thus, Flemming recognized that chromosomal movement during mitosis offered ...

This video segment from NOVA: "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial" reveals how genetic evidence helped to confirm an important component of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection ...

In collaboration with colleagues from international partner institutions, researchers at the University of Cologne have ...

X chromosomes are expressed differently depending ... are inherited from the mother or the father. The imprinted brain theory developed by Christopher Badcock and Bernard Crespi hypothesizes ...

Each cell with a nucleus contains chromosomes, which are made from DNA Human body cells each contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, half of which are from each parent. So, human gametes (eggs and sperm ...

When scientists today work to decode the human genome, they use high-tech methods to view the microscopic chromosomes and ... heredity left a big gap in his theory of natural selection.

Female mammals typically carry two X chromosomes — one from each parent — and a new study suggests that the maternal X is ...

The team also wants to investigate what these findings might mean for males, who carry only maternal X chromosomes — and could, in theory, then have greater rates of brain aging. "One can ...

The findings were published in the journal Nature. The centromere is the thinnest part of the chromosome that divides it into a long and short arm, much like how the waist separates the upper and ...

Each replicated chromosome is made up of two identical strands called chromatids that are joined together. Each chromatid is a full length DNA molecule. The stages outlined in the following ...
