N2 - Human diploid fibroblasts have the capacity to complete a finite number of cell divisions before entering a state of replicative senescence characterized by growth arrest, changes in morphology, and altered gene expression. Herein, we report that interaction with extracellular matrix (ECM) from young cells is sufficient to restore aged, senescent cells to an apparently youthful state. The identity of the restored cells as having been derived from senescent cells has been confirmed by a variety of methods, including time lapse live cell imaging and DNA finger print analysis. In addition to cell morphology, phenotypic restoration was assessed by resumption of proliferative potential, growth factor ...

In gametic meiosis, instead of immediately dividing meiotically to produce haploid cells, the zygote divides mitotically to produce a multicellular diploid individual or a group of more unicellular diploid cells. Cells from the diploid individuals then undergo meiosis to produce haploid cells or gametes. Haploid cells may divide to form more haploid cells, as in many yeasts, but the haploid phase is not the predominant life cycle phase. In most diplonts, mitosis occurs only in the diploid phase, i.e. gametes usually form quickly and fuse to produce diploid zygotes. In the whole cycle, gametes are usually the only haploid cells, and mitosis usually occurs only in the diploid phase. The diploid multicellular individual is a diplont, hence a gametic meiosis is also called a diplontic life cycle. Diplonts are: ...

C. albicans is the most prevalent human fungal pathogen currently known. Until recently it was known that C. albicans reproduced in a parasexual cycle involving the fusion of two diploid cells to produce a tetraploid cell. This tetraploid cell then undergoes a reduction of the number of chromosomes to restore the diploid state. This reduction is not through meiosis, but rather a chromosomal loss mechanism, resulting in a high degree of aneuploidy as well as restoration of the diploid state [3]. It was recently discovered that C. albicans also forms mating-competent haploid cells. These cells were located through flow cytometry profiles and subsequent amplification of the MAT locus, based on this analysis it was concluded that haploid cells arise through the same chromosomal loss at a rate of 1-3 per 100,000 cells. It was also noted that the haploid cell lines grew slower than either an established diploid line or a diploid line arising from the fusing of two haploid cells. This growth pattern is ...

We develop mathematical models describing the evolutionary dynamics of asexual and sexual reproduction pathways based on the yeast life cycle. By explicitly considering the semiconservative nature of DNA replication and a diploid genome, we are able to obtain a selective advantage for sex under much more general conditions than required by previous models. We are also able to suggest an evolutionary basis for the use of sex as a stress response in unicellular organisms such as Bakers yeast. Some additional features associated with both asexual and sexual aspects of the cell life cycle also fall out of our work. Finally, our work suggests that sex and diploidy may be useful as generalized strategies for preventing information degredation in replicating systems, and may therefore have applications beyond biology ...

I see that your organism is tetraploid, but everything I know about Fst relates to diploid organisms. I regret I really dont know how different ploidy affects Fst measurements, but anyway you are treating raw NGS data as if it was a direct method, and it isnt. if you have a pool of samples some may have been enriched more than others, and for that reason you cant take the allele counts as independent values. the only way I know to work with NGS and Fst calculation is to use a diploid organism (human in our case), to sequence individual samples, and treat the results as if they were raw genotyping results. if there is a way of using NGS pooled samples data for real and trustworthy population statistics that are able to deal with the enrichment bias, Im sorry Im not aware of it.. regarding the NGS bias mentioned in your questions comments, its not really a problem of NGS but of any methodology based on PCR, which may produce an imbalanced amplification. this erroneous amplification can ...

A condition in which the chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell exist as pairs, one set being derived from the female parent and the other from the male. In cereals such as barley and rice all the cells except the reproductive cells are diploid. When gametes are formed the diploid number (2n) is reduced by half to the haploid number (n) by meiosis When gametes fuse at fertilization the diploid condition is restored. In modern wheat the situation is more complex because it contains three genomes derived from different ancient diploid ancestors ...

The Pith: In this post I examine how looking at genomic data can clarify exactly how closely related siblings really are, instead of just assuming that theyre about 50% similar. I contrast this randomness among siblings to the hard & fast deterministic nature of of parent-child inheritance. Additionally, I detail how the idealized spare concepts of genetics from 100 years ago are modified by what we now know about how genes are physically organized, and, reorganized. Finally, I explain how this clarification allows us to potentially understand with greater precision the nature of inheritance of complex traits which vary within families, and across the whole population.. Humans are diploid organisms. We have two copies of each gene, inherited from each parent (the exception here is for males, who have only one X chromosome inherited from the mother, and lack many compensatory genes on the Y chromosome inherited from the father). Our own parents have two copies of each gene, one inherited from ...

For sexual diploid organisms, the beginning of a new life is marked with the fusion of two haploid gametes (egg and sperm) from the parents. After fertilization, thousands of genes are turned on and off in harmony with exact timing and spacing, presenting a remarkable symphony of embryonic development. In animals, the zygotic genome is…

The microscopic carposporophyte produces diploid carpospores that are released in the water column and develop into sporophytes. Untile the release of carpospores, the carposporophyte remains connected to the female thallus and acquires nutrients from it continuously. Furthermore, the female gametophyte allocates energies to production of secondary metabolites (moe than the male thallus) as anti-herbivory defense ...

The characteristic limited reproductive life-span of normal human fibroblasts in culture is due to a steadily decreasing fraction of cells able to proliferate in the standard rich growth media. We have observed that restricting the growth factor supply to old cells for variable lengths of time in culture increases the fraction of cells that can enter S-phase; although these cells do not go on to divide. Thus, it seems that there is a transient phase between the proliferating state and the irreversibly post-mitotic, senescent state. Perhaps a quiescent-G0 state, which can be maintained in the presence of growth factors, is a stage on the pathway to mortalization and senescence. ...

The interaction between ionizing radiation and substances in cells will induce the production of free radicals. These free radicals inflict damage to important biomolecules such as chromosomes, proteins and lipids which consequently trigger the expression of genes which are involved in protecting the cells or repair the oxidative damages. Honey has been known for its antioxidant properties and was used in medical and cosmetic products. Currently, research on honey is ongoing and diversifying. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of Gelam honey as a radioprotector in human diploid fibroblast (HDFs) which were exposed to gamma-rays by determining the expression of genes and proteins involved in cell cycle regulation and cell death. Six groups of HDFs were studied viz. untreated control, irradiated HDFs, Gelam honey-treated HDFs and HDF treated with Gelam honey pre-, during- and post-irradiation. HDFs were treated with 6 mg/ml of sterilized Gelam honey (w/v) for 24 h and exposed to 1 Gray (Gy)

In the model presented here, mutation occurs during meiosis. Mutation thus occurs prior to selection in haploids and after selection, prior to mating, in diploids (Figure 2). For this reason, haploids entering selection have a higher frequency of the deleterious allele than diploids entering selection. This difference is reflected in the mean fitness of haploids vs. diploids as seen in Equation 4. By comparing Equations 4 and 6, it is clear that diploids can have a mean fitness advantage over haploids, even in situations where the deleterious allele is partially dominant (h , ½), and this is seen in Figure 3. Meiotic mutation thus causes diploidy to be favored over a larger range than seen in previous models because the frequency of the deleterious allele in haploids entering selection is greater than in diploids.. The difference in the frequency of the deleterious allele in haploids vs. diploids entering selection is affected by the resident level of diploidy in the population. In particular, ...

Our study examined the chimeric and survival capabilities of chimeras created by injecting tetraploid embryonic come cells (ESCs) expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) into diploid embryos. three germ layers and the trophoblast was irregular in the EBs of tetraploid ESCs compared with diploid ESCs. In short, slower expansion and irregular differentiation potential of tetraploid ESCs might become two of the reasons for their poor survival and chimeric capabilities. Intro Tetraploid cells can become made by fusing two diploid cells regardless of the cell cycle stage. Earlier studies used polyploid mammalian cells to investigate cell growth and cytogenetic changes1. Somatic cell fusion with ESCs to form a cross cells offers offered an approach to study the mechanism of how the cell reprogramming happens. Tetraploid cross cells showed a related cell cycle as ESCs and shared immortal growth characteristics and cell guns as ESCs2. There are numerous ways to produce tetraploid cells gene media ...

Brief oversimplification: Most bees, ants, and true wasps have a single sex-determining locus (no sex chromosomes) with many alleles. Haploids are male, and diploids are almost always heterozygous at the sex locus and become female. Homozygous diploids develop as males, and these diploid males are usually inviable or infertile. This is called single-locus complementary sex determination, or sl-CSD (or just CSD). Just a few years ago, the sex locus of the honeybee was definitively identified by Martin Beye and co-workers ...

The specific aspects of the sexual life cycle of mushroom-forming basidiomycetes leave room for the selection of ultra-selfish genetic elements that are in conflict with the rest of the genome. This implies that basidiomycete organismality, i.e. the extent to which the parts composing a social group, in this case a multicellular individual, work together for the common whole, is lower than in other multicellular organisms [59]. A corollary of this is that organismal fitness may be suboptimal and that differentiation is less irreversible than in animals and plants.. By contrast to a diploid organism with a single fused, diploid nucleus and one type of mitochondrial genome (and other cytoplasmic organelles) per cell, the dikaryon consists of multiple genetic entities that form an unholy marriage as they can still pursue their own selfish interest to some degree, even if this comes at a cost to the dikaryon as a whole. The two genetically different haploid nuclei of the dikaryon remain separate ...

A difficult estimate with lots of unknown parameters. I would like to start with something easier. Given 3 bases/nm, a diploid human cell contains around 2 meters worth of DNA. Google claims 3.7 x 10^13 cells in a human body, and Im going to ignore erythrocytes for simplicity. So that makes 7.4 x 10^13 meters of human DNA in one individual. With a population of 7 x 10^9, lets call that 5 x 10^23 meters of DNA in the human population. Switching units for convenience, and supposing a light year to be around 10^15 meters, I get 5 x 10^8 light years of DNA, just from our species. And I think Ill stop there. It appears that all the DNA in the world must be many orders of magnitude longer than the observable universe. I sincerely hope I have made a mathematical error. ReplyDelete ...

Based on Hollands simple genetic algorithm (SGA) there have been many variations developed. Inspired by the phenomenon of diploid genotype and dominance mechanisms broadly existing in nature, we have proposed a primal-dual genetic algorithm (PDGA), see (Yang 2002). Our preliminary experiments based on the Royal Road functions have shown that PDGA outperforms SGA for different performance measures. In this paper we present some further experiment results, especially on the dynamic performance of PDGA over SGA, and give out our explanations and analyses about why PDGA outperforms SGA based on these results. Through the primal-dual mapping between a pair of chromosomes, PDGAs performance of exploration in the search space, especially during the early generations, is improved and thus its total searching efficiency is improved ...

Many Chk1 inhibitors are at various stages of preclinical and clinical development in combination with a variety of anticancer DNA-damaging agents (1). Chk1 is required for cell-cycle arrest, recombination repair, and replication fork stability in damaged cells, hence it is believed that inhibiting Chk1 will enhance cell killing induced by DNA damage. Whether this is selective for the tumor remains to be established although it has been suggested that either p53 or p38mapk may selectively protect normal cells (5, 29, 30). In addition, previous experiments showed that human diploid fibroblasts were not sensitized to gemcitabine by SCH900776, nor were myelosuppressive effects of gemcitabine enhanced by SCH900776 in mouse models (9). The experiments reported here used both a p53-wildtype (MCF10A) and p53-defective cell line (MDA-MB-231), both of which were sensitive to antimetabolites when Chk1 was inhibited. We confirm that both UCN-01 and SCH900776 inhibit Chk1 but not Chk2 in cells. Previous ...

Mercurialis annua is a wind-pollinated annual plant that has long been used as a model for the study of ploidy and sexual-systems evolution. However, no molecular markers are yet available for genetic studies of its diploid populations. Here, we develop and characterize a set of eight polymorphic microsatellite markers for diploid dioecious M. annua. Following an SSR-enrichment protocol, 13 microsatellite markers were proposed, eight of which yielded successful amplification and polymorphism. We screened the eight microsatellite loci in 100 individuals. The number of alleles per marker ranged from 6 to 12, and observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.57 to 0.76. To estimate potential allele scoring errors, these individuals offspring were genotyped for the same loci, and error rates were estimated from parentage analyses. Error rates ranged from 0 to 6.8%. Cross-amplification tests were performed for congeneric M. huetti and M. canariensis, with successful amplification for

Zygosity (the noun, zygote, is from from the Greek zygotos yoked, from zygon yoke) (/zaɪˈɡɒsɪti/) is the degree of similarity of the alleles for a trait in an organism. Most eukaryotes have two matching sets of chromosomes; that is, they are diploid. Diploid organisms have the same loci on each of their two sets of homologous chromosomes except that the sequences at these loci may differ between the two chromosomes in a matching pair and that a few chromosomes may be mismatched as part of a chromosomal sex-determination system. If both alleles of a diploid organism are the same, the organism is homozygous at that locus. If they are different, the organism is heterozygous at that locus. If one allele is missing, it is hemizygous, and, if both alleles are missing, it is nullizygous. The DNA sequence of a gene often varies from one individual to another. Those variations are called alleles. While some genes have only one allele because there is low variation, others have only one allele ...

Yeasts used in bread making are exposed to high concentrations of sucrose during sweet dough fermentation. Despite its importance, tolerance to high-sucrose stress is poorly understood at the gene level. To clarify the genes required for tolerance to high-sucrose stress, genome-wide screening was undertaken using the complete deletion strain collection of diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The screening identified 273 deletions that yielded high sucrose sensitivity, approximately 20 of which were previously uncharacterized. These 273 deleted genes were classified based on their cellular function and localization of their gene products. Cross-sensitivity of the high-sucrose-sensitive mutants to high concentrations of NaCl and sorbitol was studied. Among the 273 sucrose-sensitive deletion mutants, 269 showed cross-sensitivities to sorbitol or NaCl, and four (i.e. ade5,7, ade6, ade8, and pde2) were specifically sensitive to high sucrose. The general stress response pathways via high-osmolarity ...

The p16INK4a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor is implicated in replicative senescence, the state of permanent growth arrest provoked by cumulative cell divisions or as a response to constitutive Ras-Raf-MEK signalling in somatic cells. Some contribution to senescence presumably underlies the importance of p16INK4a as a tumour suppressor but the mechanisms regulating its expression in these different contexts remain unknown. Here we demonstrate a role for the Ets1 and Ets2 transcription factors based on their ability to activate the p16INK4a promoter through an ETS-binding site and their patterns of expression during the lifespan of human diploid fibroblasts. The induction of p16INK4a by Ets2, which is abundant in young human diploid fibroblasts, is potentiated by signalling through the Ras-Raf-MEK kinase cascade and inhibited by a direct interaction with the helix-loop-helix protein Id1 (ref. 11). In senescent cells, where the Ets2 levels and MEK signalling decline, the marked increase in ...

© Cambridge University Press 2013. Introduction: Sexual reproduction is a survival strategy employed by species for procreation, and is characterized by the transfer of haploid genetic material from each parent to produce diploid offspring, ensuring continued genetic diversity. In mammals, males produce vast numbers of gametes called sperm in the testes (˜53-55µm in length), which are deposited in the female reproductive tract in a liquid medium (semen) via the process of ejaculation. Females produce much larger gametes, eggs (˜100µm in diameter), which are surrounded by a thin glycoprotein layer, the zona pellucida (ZP), and generated in follicles contained in the ovaries which, following maturation, are released and transported through the fallopian tube to the uterus. Sexual reproduction involves the concerted release of these two components, which subsequently fuse to re-form the diploid chromosome number, resulting in a new, genetically unique individual, a process termed fertilization.

Diploids, Hybrids, Landraces and Grexes. Alan M. Kapuler PhD, Dylana Kapuler, Mario DiBenedetto, Linda Kapuler January 31, 2015. In the 1970s, Peace Seeds began purchasing F1 hybrid seeds of tomatoes, growing them out, saving the seeds and repeating the process for more than a decade. In this way Peacevine Cherry Tomato arose from the F1 Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato. This technique is now called dehybridizing.. One must reckon that most diploids are hybrids. Tomatoes are generally diploids. People are diploids. Hence all people are hybrids. And what is called dehybridizing is genetic, generational selection. If one wants all the plants and their fruits to be the same, ie. homozygous, then it may take many years to achieve. If you go into a place where wild, native species still exist you can still find bean species. For thousands of years people have been doing this, putting the seeds in their pockets, bringing them back to their communities and planting them for years to come. When we go to ...

Binary fission can refer to cell division in bacteria. Bacteria replicate their chromosomes prior to division, but I dont think that state can be called diploid because the chromosomes are identical. Diploid organisms can be carrying different alleles on each pair of sister chromosomes, but this is not the case for a duplicated bacterial chromosome before cell division. Therefore in my opinion your statement is not necessarily true, at least for bacteria ...

In all animals except [ humans / sponges ] a zygote undergoes divisions to become a blastula. 8. The cells of animals are organized into functional units called [ blastula / tissues ] Matching: ...

In diploid organisms, such as humans, all somatic cells have two copies of the genome, one copy inherited from each parent. For the vast majority of autosomal genes, both alleles at each locus influence expression of the gene. However, a small number of genes are imprinted, meaning that gene expression results from only a single allele because the allele transmitted from either the mother or the father is silenced. It is believed that up to 1% of human genes may be imprinted, and more than 150 imprinted human genes have been identified so far, most of which are related to growth and development [12, 13]. Imprinted genes can have a significant role in disease because imposition of a functional haploid state at imprinted loci allows a single mutation event to be unopposed, giving it greater potential to affect gene function.. Genomic imprinting is related to the methylation of cytosine bases that occurs primarily in CpG clusters. Such regions are frequently involved in regulation of genes [14]. ...

Parthenogetically activated, diploid mouse oocytes can develop to midgestation stages in utero. However, even these advanced parthenogenones appear to die because of much reduced trophoblast and yolk sac development. Previous studies have compared the general features of parthenogenetic and androgen …

Alleles are genetic locations on paired, homologous chromosomes in diploid organisms, where the DNA may have similar but alternate sequences that impart unique phenotypes (hair color, predisposition to disease, etc.).

REIG, German and CONCHA, Miguel L. Genomic Imprinting and Embryonic Development. Int. J. Morphol. [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.4, pp.1453-1457. ISSN 0717-9502. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-95022012000400029.. In diploid organisms, autosomal genes are composed of two copies, or alleles, inherited from both parents at fertilization. For the vast majority of autosomal genes, expression occurs from both alleles simultaneously. However, a small proportion (,1%) of genes are imprinted, meaning that their expression depends on the parental origin . DNA methylation is one of the most known epigenetic modifications and its function is critical for the establishment of imprinting. The global pattern of genomic methylation is stable and inheritable, however, it is erased and re-established in a sex-depended manner at two critical periods of embryonic development. Functionally, the majority of imprinted genes play roles in the control of embryonic and placental growth and development. Alterations in ...

When two haploid gametes fuse to produce a diploid fertilised embryo, they each contribute one set of chromosomes, so that the result has a pair of each chromosome. That first cell then divides and divides to produce an entire organism, and all of the cells that result are diploid - that is, they have two of each chromosome ...

With pears, there are diploids and triploids, exactly as with apples. But there are also tetraploid pears and these have the ability to pollinate themselves so

This is sometimes abbreviated to the symbol 2n, for humans the number is 46. So, 2n=46 for humans, for cats 2n=38. In the process known as mitosis a cell is divided to two cells - each with a nucleus. If we look at the nucleus we will find that each one will have a diploid nucleus. We often say these cells are identical or we can call it as daughter cells. (they have the same number of chromosomes and they have the same set of chromosomes ...
