  2. Key duplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_duplication

    A "do not duplicate" key (or DND key, for short) is one that has been stamped "do not duplicate", "duplication prohibited" or similar by a locksmith or manufacturer as a passive deterrent to discourage a retail key cutting service from duplicating a key without authorization or without contacting the locksmith or manufacturer who originally cut ...

  3. Gene duplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_duplication

    Gene duplication (or chromosomal duplication or gene amplification) is a major mechanism through which new genetic material is generated during molecular evolution. It can be defined as any duplication of a region of DNA that contains a gene .

  5. Duplicating machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplicating_machines

    In document duplication (as opposed to law enforcement and such), a polygraph is a mechanical device that moves a second pen parallel to one held by a writer, enabling the writer to make a duplicate of a document as it is written. Polygraphs appeared in the 17th century but did not become popular until 1800.

  6. DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_replication

    This is essential for cell division during growth and repair of damaged tissues, while it also ensures that each of the new cells receives its own copy of the DNA. [5] The cell possesses the distinctive property of division, which makes replication of DNA essential. DNA is made up of a double helix of two complementary strands. DNA is often ...

  7. Gene family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_family

    A gene family is a set of several similar genes, formed by duplication of a single original gene, and generally with similar biochemical functions. One such family are the genes for human hemoglobin subunits; the ten genes are in two clusters on different chromosomes, called the α-globin and β-globin loci.

  8. Evolution by gene duplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_by_gene_duplication

    Evolution by gene duplication is an event by which a gene or part of a gene can have two identical copies that can not be distinguished from each other. This phenomenon is understood to be an important source of novelty in evolution, providing for an expanded repertoire of molecular activities.

  9. Centrosome cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrosome_cycle

    Cell cycle regulation of centrosome duplication Centrosomes are only supposed to replicate once in each cell cycle and are therefore highly regulated. [ 9 ] The centrosome cycle has been found to be regulated by multiple things, including reversible phosphorylation and proteolysis . [ 2 ]
