Lampbrush chromosome. Lampbrush chromosome are a special form of chromosome found in the growing oocytes (immature eggs) of most animals, except mammals. They were first described by Walther Flemming and Ruckert in 1882. [1] Lampbrush chromosomes of tailed and tailless amphibians, birds and insects are described best of all.
Joseph Grafton Gall (April 14, 1928 – September 12, 2024) was an American cell biologist whose studies revealed many details of chromosome structure and function. Gall's studies were greatly facilitated by his knowledge of many different organisms because he could select the most favorable organism to study when approaching a specific question about nuclear structure.
Lampbrush chromosome from the cell nucleus of an ovarial egg from Triton sp., a salamander. Harold Garnet Callan FRS FRSE (15 March 1917, in Maidenhead – 3 November 1993), [1] known as Mick Callan, was an English zoologist and cytologist. [2] He is especially remembered for his work on Lampbrush chromosomes.
Although found all across the lampbrush chromosome, they are not organized in a clear pattern along as they are in normal pachytene chromosomes of meiosis. [2] [5] The two sister chromatids of a lampbrush chromosome separate fully, forming lateral loops that extend from chromomeres, and act as transcription complexes. The lateral loops are ...
The Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School, often referred to as CESJDS or JDS, is a private, pluralistic Jewish JK-12 school located on two campuses in North Bethesda (Rockville postal address), Maryland, United States. [4] [5] Founded in 1966, the school's namesake is Charles E. Smith, [6] a local Jewish philanthropist and real estate magnate.
Clarence Erwin McClung (April 5, 1870 – January 17, 1946) was an eminent American zoologist and prairie pioneer cytologist who discovered the role of chromosomes in sex-determination. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Graduating pharmacy at the University of Kansas in 1892, after a year of teaching he entered the college as a graduate student (A.B.,1896, A.M.,1898 ...
It became the first demonstration of genetic linkage in mammals, showing that certain genetic traits tend to be inherited together (this was later discovered to be due to their proximity on chromosomes). [3] (Between 1912 and 1914, genetic linkage had been reported in the fruit fly Drosophilla, [72] silk moth, [73] and plants. [74])
Maynard Smith and Szathmáry identified several properties common to the transitions: Smaller entities have often come about together to form larger entities, e.g. chromosomes, eukaryotes, sex multicellular colonies. Smaller entities often become differentiated as part of a larger entity, e.g. DNA-protein, organelles, anisogamy, tissues, castes
