Facts on topics related to Meiosis

Mitosis

• plant cells go through an additional stage in their cell cycle, the preprophase, which does not occur during mitosis in animal cells?
• Angelika Amon discovered two gene regulatory networks that regulate the exit of cells from mitosis to the G1 phase?
• Walther Flemming, a German histologist, discovered mitosis (cell division), chromatin and chromosomes, and that this is considered one of the 100 most important scientific discoveries in history?

Cell cycle

• plant cells go through an additional stage in their cell cycle, the preprophase, which does not occur during mitosis in animal cells?

Chromosome

• microchromosomes are very tiny gene-rich chromosomes which are a typical genetic component in birds, and some groups of non-mammalian animals?
• Pallister-Killian syndrome is a rare congenital genetic disorder that cannot be detected through prenatal blood tests because it occurs only in the chromosomes of skin cells?
• a researcher at the University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences discovered that the linear arrangement of genes on a chromosome corresponds to the development of body segments in fruit flies?
• in 1902, the Boveri-Sutton Chromosome Theory unified the genetic laws of Mendelian inheritance with the physical structures of chromosomes observed in cells?
