Division and Segregation of Organelles

Klappentext This 1988 volume provides a stimulating survey of the ways in which the DNA-containing organelles of yeast, animal, and plant cells replicate. Zusammenfassung This 1988 volume provides a stimulating survey of the ways in which the DNA-containing organelles of yeast! animal! and plant cells replicate. The orderly division and segregation of these organelles is essential for the survival of all eukaryotes and is therefore a topic of importance to a wide range of biologists.
