Animal

Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia.

Cell cycle

The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells.

Cell migration

Cell migration is a central process in the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms.

Embryogenesis

Embryogenesis is the process by which the embryo forms and develops.

Gastrulation

Gastrulation is a phase early in the embryonic development of most animals, during which the single-layered blastula is reorganized into a multilayered structure known as the gastrula.

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Gene · See more »

Gene silencing

Gene silencing is the regulation of gene expression in a cell to prevent the expression of a certain gene.

New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Gene silencing · See more »

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism.

New!!: Maternal to zygotic transition and Genome · See more »

Histone-modifying enzymes

The packaging of the eukaryotic genome into highly condensed chromatin makes it inaccessible to the factors required for gene transcription, DNA replication, recombination and repair.

Homology (biology)

In biology, homology is the existence of shared ancestry between a pair of structures, or genes, in different taxa.

Messenger RNA

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.

MicroRNA

A microRNA (abbreviated miRNA) is a small non-coding RNA molecule (containing about 22 nucleotides) found in plants, animals and some viruses, that functions in RNA silencing and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression.

Mitosis

In cell biology, mitosis is a part of the cell cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.

NC ratio

The nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio (also variously known as the nucleus:cytoplasm ratio, nucleus-cytoplasm ratio, N:C ratio, or N/C) is a measurement used in cell biology.

Oogenesis

Oogenesis, ovogenesis, or oögenesis is the differentiation of the ovum (egg cell) into a cell competent to further development when fertilized.

Ploidy

Ploidy is the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell, and hence the number of possible alleles for autosomal and pseudoautosomal genes.
