Based on the reproducer concept, Griesemer has proposed an analysis of modes of multiplication in which reproduction, inheritance, and replication are special cases of multiplication processes (Griesemer 2000a, p. S360, 2000c).
This introduces the evolutionary process as the consequence of three components that structure the lesson: replication (the inheritance of parental traits by offspring), variation (differences between parent and offspring and among siblings), and selection (nonrandom differential survival of offspring).
A mathematical model assuming autocatalytic virus replication and inheritance of bacterial growth rates quantitatively reproduces the experimental distributions, demonstrating that deterministic amplification of small host inhomogeneities is a mechanism sufficient to explain large and highly skewed distributions.
All of these proteins have orthologs in fission yeast cells and the systems of mtDNA replication and inheritance are comparable between these species.
However, the mtDNA organization in two circular chromosomes found in DAOM 213198 raises fundamental questions about their replication and inheritance compared with other AMF harboring one single circular chromosome with a full set of genes.
Mobile GC clusters affecting recombination [ 22] may influence mtDNA replication and inheritance or interfere with mitochondrial translation (as in the case of translational bypass elements that are believed to have evolved from GC clusters [ 53]).
Various aspects of biology of plasmids and other mobile genetic elements were discussed during the meeting, including problems of replication, transfer, stable inheritance, and evolution.
Furthermore, SLE promotes inverse symmetry at the expense of violating Chargaff's (first) parity rule [7] (CPR1), a key to DNA replication and biological inheritance.
KorA, which binds to the DNA strand as a dimer at seven sites, coordinates expression of genes for replication and stable inheritance [ 16, 17].
MSI is frequently indicative of a defect in DNA mismatch repair during replication, either through inheritance of nonfunctional DNA repair genes or through somatic inactivation of repair genes within the cancer cell progenitor [ 36].
