    George Lakoff has more recently claimed that the left-right distinction in politics reflects a different ideals of the family; for the right-wing, the ideal is a patriarchal family based upon absolutist morality; for the left-wing, the ideal is an unconditionally loving family. As a result, Lakoff argues, both sides find each other's views not ...

    Painting of an unknown nuclear family in Washington, D.C., dated 1850 An American nuclear family composed of the mother, father, and their children, c. 1955. For social conservatism in the United States and Canada, the idea that the nuclear family is traditional is a very important aspect, where family is the primary unit of society.

  4. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    In complex multicellular organisms, cells specialize into different cell types that are adapted to particular functions. In mammals, major cell types include skin cells, muscle cells, neurons, blood cells, fibroblasts, stem cells, and others. Cell types differ both in appearance and function, yet are genetically identical.

  5. Wnt signaling pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wnt_signaling_pathway

    Wnt signaling was first identified for its role in carcinogenesis, then for its function in embryonic development. The embryonic processes it controls include body axis patterning, cell fate specification, cell proliferation and cell migration. These processes are necessary for proper formation of important tissues including bone, heart and muscle.

  6. Non-histone protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-histone_protein

    The non-histone proteins, are a large group of heterogeneous proteins that play a role in organization and compaction of the chromosome into higher order structures. They play vital roles in regulating processes like nucleosome remodeling, DNA replication, RNA synthesis and processing, nuclear transport, steroid hormone action and interphase ...

  7. Extranuclear inheritance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extranuclear_inheritance

    Three general types of extranuclear inheritance exist. Vegetative segregation results from random replication and partitioning of cytoplasmic organelles. It occurs with chloroplasts and mitochondria during mitotic cell divisions and results in daughter cells that contain a random sample of the parent cell's organelles.

  8. Extended family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_family

    Historically, for generations South Asia had a prevailing tradition of the joint family system or undivided family. The joint family system is an extended family arrangement prevalent throughout the Indian subcontinent, particularly in India, consisting of many generations living in the same home, all bound by the common relationship.

  9. Src family kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Src_family_kinase

    Src family kinases contain six conserved domains: a N-terminal myristoylated segment, a SH2 domain, a SH3 domain, a linker region, a tyrosine kinase domain, and C-terminal tail. [ 1 ] Src family kinases interact with many cellular cytosolic, nuclear and membrane proteins, modifying these proteins by phosphorylation of tyrosine residues.
