  • Each one is like an orthogonal paramecium genetically modified with an Autobot's DNA, unfurling its geometry laterally or outwards into the sea, perhaps joining others of its own species to form a superorganism and in the process Spain gains a small province, before mitotically subdividing into beach furniture.

  • Because cells arise mitotically from parent cells and because each individual must originate as a single cell or a cluster of cells derived either from two parent organisms or from one, all life comes from life of its own kind.

  • "It makes sense that the double-Holliday junction pathway is a minor pathway of break repair in mitotically dividing cells because it is more likely to result in a crossover, and crossovers can cause the types of genetic changes that lead to cancer," Hunter said.
