Here we present the first diploid genome sequence of an Asian individual. The genome was sequenced to 36-fold average coverage using massively parallel sequencing technology. We aligned the short ...

First Diploid Human Genome Sequence Shows We're Surprisingly Different Date: September 4, 2007 Source: J. Craig Venter Institute Summary: This new genome represents the first time a true diploid ...

Wild polyploid strawberries hold clues to how plants evolve and adapt to harsh environments. In this study, scientists sequenced the genomes of two ...

National 5; Reproduction Diploid chromosone complement. New organisms are produced when male and female haploid gametes fuse. In mammals, gametes are produced in the testes or ovaries of ...

The diploid lineage of B. ermanii, is also considered as an ancestral lineage, might provide important clues to understand the history of this species, which has widely spread to high mountains ...

They all belong to Cavendish and Gros Michel subgroups of triploid clones and have a monospecific Musa acuminata origin. The appearance of these cultivars is thought to be result of hybridization ...

Female bees, like us, are diploid, coming from fertilised eggs with two sets of alleles. A queen must mate to produce females, because the father contributes half of the daughter’s genome.

Queen execution following diploid male emergence was equal and high in colonies producing 50% (77% executed) and 25% (75%) diploid males versus equal and low in colonies producing 12.5% (7%) and 0% (0 ...

The most famous example is wheat. Einkorn wheat, one of the oldest varieties, is a normal, diploid plant, while durum, or macaroni wheat, is tetraploid, and common wheat, or bread wheat, is hexaploid.
