These basidiospores are recombinants containing genetic material from both mating partners. |
The eukarya are characterised by having their genetic material isolated in a membrane-bound nucleus. |
My research has identified how the process of copying the genetic material is linked to cell division. |
Paramecium usually exchanges genetic material by a process of conjugation, when two cells fuse together. |
As cells divide it is a necessity that the DNA be copied, in such a way that each daughter cell acquires the same amount of genetic material. |
This is ionizing radiation, which damages genetic material and disrupts cell function. |
