The centromere links a pair of sister chromatids together during cell division. This constricted region of chromosome connects the sister chromatids, creating a short arm (p) and a long arm (q) on the chromatids. During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore.
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is "the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. ... [It] means integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research." [ 1 ] The aim of EBM is to integrate the ...
A kinetochore (/ kɪˈnɛtəkɔːr /, /- ˈniːtəkɔːr /) is a disc-shaped protein structure associated with duplicated chromatids in eukaryotic cells where the spindle fibers attach during cell division to pull sister chromatids apart. [ 1 ] The kinetochore assembles on the centromere and links the chromosome to microtubule polymers from the ...
Evidence-based nursing (EBN) is an approach to making quality decisions and providing nursing care based upon personal clinical expertise in combination with the most current, relevant research available on the topic. This approach is using evidence-based practice (EBP) as a foundation. EBN implements the most up to date methods of providing ...
In cell biology, the centrosome (Latin centrum 'center' + Greek sōma 'body') (archaically cytocentre [ 1 ]) is an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the animal cell, as well as a regulator of cell-cycle progression. The centrosome provides structure for the cell. The centrosome is thought to have evolved ...
Nursing care plan. A nursing care plan provides direction on the type of nursing care the individual/family/community may need. [1] The main focus of a nursing care plan is to facilitate standardised, evidence-based and holistic care. [2] Nursing care plans have been used for quite a number of years for human purposes and are now also getting ...
The fundamental autosomal number or autosomal fundamental number, FNa[36]or AN,[37]of a karyotype is the number of visible major chromosomal arms per set of autosomes(non-sex-linked chromosomes). Ploidy. [edit] Ploidyis the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell. Polyploidy, where there are more than two sets of homologous chromosomes ...
Centromeres are composed of a 177 base pair tandem repeat named the α-satellite repeat. [16] Pericentromeric heterochromatin, the DNA which surrounds the centromere and is important for structural maintenance, is composed of a mixture of different satellite subfamilies including the α-, β- and γ-satellites as well as HSATII, HSATIII, and ...
