Robertsonian translocation

The long arms of two acrocentric chromosomes become joined to a common centromere through a translocation, generating a metacentric chromosome with two long arms and another chromosome with two very short arms. The smaller chromosome is often lost because very small chromosomes do not have enough mass to segregate properly during mitosis and meiosis.

Snail and Twist promote expression of genes involved in cell migration, loss of cell-cell adhesion, loss of cell polarity, and increase the production of proteases that digest the basement membrane

The temperature dependence of the solubilities of O2 and CO2 is such that at higher temperatures, the ratio of O2 to CO2 in solution increases. In addition, the affinity of rubisco for CO2 decreases with increasing temperature, exacerbating its tendency to catalyze the wasteful oxygenase reaction, favoring the oxygenase reaction.

A key function of mitotic CDKs, together with other protein kinases and ubiquitin-protein ligases, is to induce the formation of the mitotic spindle, also known as the mitotic apparatus.
