Having more than 120 million gametes is associated with up to three more years of life. Once again, a Danish study points to ...
Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are ...
Meiosis, as described above, is the process by which certain sex cells are created. If you're male, your body uses meiosis to create sperm cells; if you're female, it uses meiosis to create egg cells.
Two new studies uncover how DNA folding controls sperm cell development. Researchers identified proteins that rearrange genomic architecture, setting cellular memory and fate. This 3D genome mapping ...
Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...
