What is meiosis?

Meiosis is a specialized cell division process that shuffles genetic material to create four genetically unique daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes compared to the parent cell. This process is vital for sexual reproduction in eukaryotes. What are the key features of meiosis...

What is mitosis?

Mitosis is a fundamental process by which a eukaryotic cell duplicates its genetic material (DNA) and divides to form two daughter cells. These daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell and possess the same number of chromosomes. What are the key features of mitosis?

What is genomics?

Genomics is the scientific exploration of an organism's entire genetic makeup, its genome. This encompasses not just the genes that code for proteins, but all the DNA, including regions with yet-to-be-understood functions. What are the key features of genomics?

What is competitive exclusion?

Competitive exclusion, also known as Gause's principle, is an ecological principle stating that two competing species cannot coexist indefinitely in the same environment if they rely on the same limited resources. This principle implies that one species will eventually outcompete the other and drive...
