Figure 1: Chromosome mis-segregation occurs at high frequency in spontaneously arising binucleated cells. Figure 2: Nondisjunction occurs with high frequency in cells that become binucleated by ...

For animals, an extra chromosome can result in major problems, but plants are another matter. ... a species with 20 chromosomes, and the tetraploid Arabidopsis arenosa, ...

The euploid state describes when the number of chromosomes in each cell is some multiple of n, which may be 2n (46, diploid), 3n (69, triploid) 4n (92, tetraploid) and so on. When chromosomes are ...

In addition to the extra chromosomes, the "double value" or "tetraploid" cells also duplicate a cell structure called the centrosome that plays a role in maintaining a stable genome.

In asexual reproduction and cancer development, haploid (one set of each chromosome) and tetraploid (four sets of each chromosome) cells are generated, causing chromosomes to become unstable.

Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) report that a tumor suppressor pathway, called the Hippo pathway, is responsible for sensing abnormal chromosome numbers in cells and ...

It starts with understanding that BL1 is a tetraploid fruit, one that comes from a plant with four copies of each chromosome in its cells. That means it has twice the normal number of chromosomes ...

The terms 'diploid' and 'tetraploid' ryegrass refers to the number of chromosomes per cell in the grass plant. Diploids have two sets of chromosomes per cell while tetraploids have four.
