  2. Polyploidy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyploidy

    Polyploidy occurs in some tissues of animals that are otherwise diploid, such as human muscle tissues. [45] This is known as endopolyploidy. Species whose cells do not have nuclei, that is, prokaryotes, may be polyploid, as seen in the large bacterium Epulopiscium fishelsoni. [46] Hence ploidy is defined with respect to a cell.

  3. Three generations of human rights - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_generations_of_human...

    Rights to intergenerational equity and sustainability; The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights ensures many of those: the right to self-determination, right to development, right to natural resources and right to satisfactory environment. [16] Some countries also have constitutional mechanisms for safeguarding third-generation rights.

  4. Ploidy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ploidy

    It is possible on rare occasions for ploidy to increase in the germline, which can result in polyploid offspring and ultimately polyploid species. This is an important evolutionary mechanism in both plants and animals and is known as a primary driver of speciation . [ 8 ]

  5. Diploidization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diploidization

    Once a polyploid is made, either synthetically or naturally, the genome goes through a period of "genome shock". Genome shock can be defined as a stage in which the genome experiences massive reorganization and structural changes to deal with the external stress (X-ray damage, chromosome duplication, etc.) imposed upon the genome. [ 7 ]

  6. Philosophy of human rights - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_human_rights

    The term "human rights" has replaced the term "natural rights" in popularity, because the rights are less and less frequently seen as requiring natural law for their existence. [10] For some, the debate on human rights remains thus a debate around the correct interpretation of natural law, and human rights themselves a positive, but ...

  7. Bodily integrity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodily_integrity

    Bodily integrity is the inviolability of the physical body and emphasizes the importance of personal autonomy, self-ownership, and self-determination of human beings over their own bodies. In the field of human rights , violation of the bodily integrity of another is regarded as an unethical infringement, intrusive, and possibly criminal.

  8. Endoreduplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoreduplication

    Endoreduplication, endomitosis and polytenization are three different processes resulting in polyploidization of a cell in a regulated manner. In endoreduplication cells skip M phase completely by exiting the mitotic cell cycle in the G 2 phase after completing the S phase several times, resulting in a mononucleated polyploid cell.

  9. Right to life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_life

    The right to life is the belief that a human (or other animal) has the right to live and, in particular, should not be killed by another entity. The concept of a right to life arises in debates on issues including: capital punishment, with some people seeing it as immoral; abortion, with some considering the killing of a human embryo or fetus immoral; euthanasia, in which the decision to end ...
