  • The sperm has to be able to travel up the fallopian tubes to reach the egg, and once there, it must be able to fertilize the egg. (sciencedaily.com)
  • A man might not produce enough sperm, or his sperm might be unable to reach the eggs. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Natural cloning occurs through a variety of natural mechanisms, from single-celled organisms to complex multicellular organisms. (wikipedia.org)
  • Cancer stem cells, instrumental in metastasis, would seem to ignore mechanisms normally functioning in the removal of excess cells. (iospress.com)
  • Though not understanding all the mechanisms involved, the Scottish researchers managed to 'trick' the information in one of a full-grown sheep's cells to 'switch on' again. (creation.com)
  • However, though BC is emerging as a potential organ transplant option, challenges regarding organ size scalability, immune system incompatibilities, long-term maintenance, potential evolutionary distance, or unveiled mechanisms between donor and host cells remain. (frontiersin.org)
  • it can occur in organisms that reproduce sexually and those that reproduce asexually. (who.int)
  • Some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. (alchetron.com)
  • Animals sexually derived from the fusion of gametes from two different organisms, such as mules, are considered "hybrids. (frontiersin.org)
  • The infective forms of T cruzi are contained in the feces of the insect vectors and gain entry into its mammalian hosts through contamination. (medscape.com)
  • This mechanism of transmission contrasts with that of the two subspecies of African trypanosomes that cause human disease, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense , which are transmitted via the saliva of their vectors, and with the mechanism by which a nonpathogenic trypanosome found in the Americas, Trypanosoma rangeli , is transmitted to its mammalian hosts. (medscape.com)
  • The trypomastigote is the infective flagellated form of the parasite found in the blood of the mammalian hosts (blood trypomastigote) and in the hindgut of vectors (metacyclic trypomastigote). (medscape.com)
  • The mammalian definitive hosts of F. gigantica become infected by ingestion of vegetation containing encysted metacercariae. (biomedcentral.com)
  • T cruzi can also be transmitted when mammalian hosts ingest infected insects, and this mechanism of transmission may play a major role in maintaining the sylvatic cycle. (medscape.com)
  • The genetically modified egg now has 46 chromosomes, the full human compliment. (cbc-network.org)
  • February 12, 1987) observed inhibition of influenza virus in NIH 3T3 mouse cells genetically modified to express the mouse protein Mx. (justia.com)
  • Baer's discovery provided evidence for the theory of epigenesis, which states that organisms develop gradually from undifferentiated cells. (proprofs.com)
  • Once DNA was discovered, the meanings changed slightly, for the organism could be said to be preformed by the set of instructions held within the genetic code, while, in a more secular age, epigenesis was held to be the effect of the environment in shaping the way those instructions were read.

  • A mature red blood cell has no mitochondria, [17] whereas a liver cell can have more than 2000. (wikipedia.org)
  • In addition, specific proteins or biological substances can be added to these stem cell cultures to transform them in the laboratory into a large variety of specialized cell types, such as nerve, liver, muscle, bone, and blood cells. (jcpa.org)
  • The T.S.of the mammalian ovary or transverse section of the ovary is studied and identified through experimental slides. (vedantu.com)
  • The number of mitochondria in a cell can vary widely by organism , tissue , and cell type. (wikipedia.org)
  • Additional confusion surrounds stem-cell surrogates, cache and reserve cells having some characteristics of stem cells and not others. (iospress.com)
  • Phenotype: the observable bodily or biochemical characteristics of an organism, as determined by both genetic make-up and environmental influences. (ehd.org)
  • These were distinguished based on such characteristics as whether the organisms moved, had body parts, and took nourishment from the outside (animals), or were stationary and able to produce their own food by photosynthesis (plants). (newworldencyclopedia.org)
  • In 1995, they produced a pair of lambs called Megan and Morag from embryonic cells. (shawprize.org)
  • The term applies not only to entire organisms but also to copies of molecules (such as DNA) and cells. (who.int)
  • Any mammalian ovary has a solid structure to it and is bounded by epithelium along with a thick layer of fibrous tissue, also known as tunica albuginea. (vedantu.com)
  • The levels of catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH) were measured in PC12 cells and Drosophila brain tissue. (sdbonline.org)
  • GSOs also mitigated the deleterious effects of GLU on the mitochondrial membrane potential and Cyt C release, thus alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased GSH levels and CAT activity in both cells and Drosophila brain tissue. (sdbonline.org)
  • In modern science, epithelium is a type of animal tissue in which cells are packed into neatly arranged sheets. (asu.edu)
  • Each ovary consists of an outer cortex that contains follicles, interstitial cells, and oocytes. (vedantu.com)
