  • The process of inheritance is based upon the process in which the offspring receives one of each gene pair from each parent. (jainworld.com)
  • On the basis of pharmacokinetic results obtained in rats and mice exposed to chloroform by inhalation, and of enzymatic studies in human tissues in vitro , in vivo metabolic rate constants (VmaxC = 15.7 mg/hour/kg, Km = 0.448 mg/L) were defined for humans (Corley et al. (cdc.gov)
  • The results suggest that these locally made dairy-based foods may act as vehicles for the transmission of antimicrobial-resistant Staphylococcus spp. (who.int)
  • In addition, we identified by Southern blotting and PCR of DNA from somatic human x hamster hybrid cell lines homologues of cluster-4/CD24 on the Y chromosome and chromosome 15. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Many human body cell types have a remarkable rate of turnover. (anti-agingfirewalls.com)
  • Mutations occur rarely, and in order for a cell to become cancerous - this is calculated for human fibroblasts - about 100 divisions must occur (this number of divisions usually occurs in a person at about the age of 40) [5]. (vechnayamolodost.ru)
  • Inversions are intrachromosomal structural mutations which result in the reversal of gene order (and no change in the genic content of a chromosome) [ 4 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • These data suggest that the predisposition of women to developing SLE is related to X chromosome copy number, not to sex or sex hormones. (medscape.com)
