The image is a time projection of mitochondria (in the cytoplasm, grey) and chromosomes (center of the cell, orange) during anaphase showing a flow pattern with vortexes. The flow pattern is aligned ...

In females with two X chromosomes – one inherited from each parent – one of the two X chromosomes is randomly silenced in every cell through a process called X-inactivation. When this process occurs, ...
