"BUDDING is a form of asexual reproduction that results from the outgrowth of a part of a cell or body region leading to a separation from the original organism into two individuals. Budding occurs commonly in some invertebrate animals such as corals and hydras." https://lnkd.in/d_e3R-w View in LinkedIn

KIN RECOGNITION. "The ability of many animals to recognize kin has allowed them to evolve diverse cooperative behaviours; such ability is less well studied for plants. Kin recognition and kin bias have long been assumed to be beyond the abilities of plants, although various pollen self-incompatibility mechanisms have been well accepted." https://lnkd.in/dsPadqZ View in LinkedIn

FISSION MECHANICS CONTINUED. "This machinery is positioned so that division splits the cytoplasm and does not damage DNA in the process. As division occurs, the cytoplasm is cleaved in two, and in many bacteria, new cell wall is synthesized. The order and timing of these processes (DNA replication, DNA segregation, division site selection, invagination of the cell envelope and synthesis of new cell wall) are tightly controlled." https://lnkd.in/eqsJf6Q View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE contemplates briefly the communication between green plants, as exemplified in their ability to discern family from strangers. But beyond simply knowing who is kin, they change the physical posture of their leaves, grow their roots differently, and adopt different competitive strategies when adjacent to kin. And, when a pollen grain lands on the female receptacle, they can discern genetic relatedness and choose to avoid inbreeding by rejecting the pollen. View in LinkedIn

FISSION MECHANICS. "Before binary fission occurs, the cell must copy its genetic material (DNA) and segregate these copies to opposite ends of the cell. Then the many types of proteins that comprise the cell division machinery assemble at the future division site. A key component of this machinery is the protein FtsZ. Protein monomers of FtsZ assemble into a ring-like structure at the center of a cell. Other components of the division apparatus then assemble at the FtsZ ring." https://lnkd.in/eqsJf6Q View in LinkedIn
