Endoreplication: polyploidy with purpose
2020-11-02
Abstract excerpt
A great many cell types are necessary for the myriad capabilities of complex, multicellular organisms. One interesting aspect of this diversity of cell type is that many cells in diploid organisms are polyploid. This is called endopolyploidy and arises from cell cycles that are often characterized as “variant,” but in fact are widespread throughout nature. Endopolyploidy is essential for normal development and phy...
