  2. Centromere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centromere

    In this diagram of a duplicated chromosome, (2) identifies the centromere—the region that joins the two sister chromatids, or each half of the chromosome. In prophase of mitosis, specialized regions on centromeres called kinetochores attach chromosomes to spindle fibers. The centromere links a pair of sister chromatids together during cell ...

  3. Vasomotor center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasomotor_center

    Together with the cardiovascular center and respiratory center, it regulates blood pressure. [1] It also has a more minor role in other homeostatic processes. [citation needed] Upon increase in carbon dioxide level at central chemoreceptors, it stimulates the sympathetic system to constrict vessels.

  4. Chromatid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatid

    Non-sister chromatids, on the other hand, refers to either of the two chromatids of paired homologous chromosomes, that is, the pairing of a paternal chromosome and a maternal chromosome. In chromosomal crossovers , non-sister (homologous) chromatids form chiasmata to exchange genetic material during the prophase I of meiosis (See Homologous ...

  5. Kinetochore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetochore

    Kinetochores start, control, and supervise the striking movements of chromosomes during cell division. During mitosis, which occurs after the amount of DNA is doubled in each chromosome (while maintaining the same number of chromosomes) in S phase, two sister chromatids are held together by a centromere. Each chromatid has its own kinetochore ...

  7. Isochromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isochromosome

    The chromosome consists of two copies of either the long (q) arm or the short (p) arm because isochromosome formation is equivalent to a simultaneous duplication and deletion of genetic material. Consequently, there is partial trisomy of the genes present in the isochromosome and partial monosomy of the genes in the lost arm.

    Similarly when people’s arms were on their laps, the systolic blood pressure was 3.9 points higher than when their arms were supported by a surface, while the diastolic pressure was 4 points ...

  9. Dicentric chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicentric_chromosome

    FISH involves the use of fluorescent probes to detect and localize specific DNA sequences on chromosomes, and centromere-specific probes can be used to measure dicentric chromosome frequencies. [10] This technique allows for the testing of human blood samples and tissue samples, which have been historically adopted by radiation laboratories.
