  2. Cell fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_fusion

    A heterokaryon is the melding of two or more cells into one and it may reproduce itself for several generations. [4] If two of the same type of cells fuse but their nuclei do not fuse, then the resulting cell is called a syncytium. [5] Heterotypic cell fusion occurs between cells of different types.

  3. Cell migration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_migration

    The migration of cultured cells attached to a surface or in 3D is commonly studied using microscopy. [7] [8] [5] As cell movement is very slow, a few μm/minute, time-lapse microscopy videos are recorded of the migrating cells to speed up the movement.

    Another similar variation, called QuadLife, involves four different on states. When a new cell is born from three different on neighbours, it takes the fourth value, and otherwise, like Immigration, it takes the majority value. [66] Except for the variation among on cells, both of these variations act identically to the Game of Life.

  5. Mitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis

    The different stages of mitosis altogether define the mitotic phase (M phase) of a cell cycle—the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells genetically identical to each other. [3] The process of mitosis is divided into stages corresponding to the completion of one set of activities and the start of the next.

  6. List of organisms by chromosome count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organisms_by...

    The list of organisms by chromosome count describes ploidy or numbers of chromosomes in the cells of various plants, animals, protists, and other living organisms.This number, along with the visual appearance of the chromosome, is known as the karyotype, [1] [2] [3] and can be found by looking at the chromosomes through a microscope.

  7. Human genetic variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_variation

    Nearly all (>99.9%) of these sites are small differences, either single nucleotide polymorphisms or brief insertions or deletions in the genetic sequence, but structural variations account for a greater number of base-pairs than the SNPs and indels.

  8. Droplet-based microfluidics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droplet-based_Microfluidics

    [91] [32] Other methods utilize different selection criteria, such as absorbance or transmittance of droplet, number of encapsulated particles, or image recognition of cell shapes. [ 93 ] [ 94 ] [ 103 ] [ 104 ] Sorting can be done to improve encapsulation purity, an important factor for collecting sample for further experiments.

  9. Bacteria - Wikipedia

    The different arrangements of bacterial flagella: A-Monotrichous; B-Lophotrichous; C-Amphitrichous; D-Peritrichous. Bacteria can use flagella in different ways to generate different kinds of movement. Many bacteria (such as E. coli) have two distinct modes of movement
