  2. Tetrad (meiosis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrad_(meiosis)

    The tetrad is the four spores produced after meiosis of a yeast or other Ascomycota, Chlamydomonas or other alga, or a plant. After parent haploids mate, they produce diploids. Under appropriate environmental conditions, diploids sporulate and undergo meiosis. The meiotic products, spores, remain packaged in the parental cell body to produce ...

  4. Bivalent (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bivalent_(genetics)

    In cellular biology, a bivalent is one pair of chromosomes (homologous chromosomes) in a tetrad. A tetrad is the association of a pair of homologous chromosomes (4 sister chromatids ) physically held together by at least one DNA crossover .

  5. Tetrad test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrad_test

    The tetrad test is a series of behavioral paradigms in which rodents treated with cannabinoids such as THC show effects. [1] [2] It is widely used for screening drugs that induce cannabinoid receptor-mediated effects in rodents. The four behavioral components of the tetrad are spontaneous activity, catalepsy, hypothermia, and analgesia.

  6. G-quadruplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-quadruplex

    The direct visualization of G-quadruplex structures in human cells [47] as well as the co-crystal structure of an RNA helicase bound to a G-quadruplex [48] have provided important confirmations of their relevance to cell biology. The potential positive and negative roles of quadruplexes in telomere replication and function remains controversial.

  7. Bioassay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioassay

    A bioassay is a biochemical test to estimate the potency of a sample compound. Usually this potency can only be measured relative to a standard compound. [3] [1] A typical bioassay involves a stimulus (ex. drugs) applied to a subject (ex. animals, tissues, plants). The corresponding response (ex. death) of the subject is thereby triggered and ...

  8. Origin and function of meiosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_and_function_of_meiosis

    The origin and function of meiosis are currently not well understood scientifically, and would provide fundamental insight into the evolution of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes. There is no current consensus among biologists on the questions of how sex in eukaryotes arose in evolution , what basic function sexual reproduction serves, and why ...

    Sarcina is a genus of gram-positive cocci bacteria in the family Clostridiaceae. [2] [3] [4] A synthesizer of microbial cellulose, [5] various members of the genus are human flora and may be found in the skin [6] and large intestine. [7]
