Twins develop from a single zygote or two separate zygotes. Monozygotic or identical twins are genetically identical and develop from one zygote, while dizygotic or fraternal twins develop from two separate zygotes so they are not genetically identical. There are several types of twins based on chorionicity and amniotic sac development including dichorionic diamniotic, monochorionic diamniotic, monochorionic monoamniotic, and conjoined twins. Complications can arise during twin pregnancies and deliveries.
Polyspermy describes an egg that has been fertilized by more than one sperm. Diploid organisms normally contain two copies of each chromosome, one from each parent. The cell resulting from polyspermy
The first issue that an egg and a sperm of any organism type face in successfully producing an embryo is the possibility of polyspermy. Polyspermy is the fertilization of an egg by multiple sperm, and the results of such unions are lethal.
If multiple sperm fertilize an egg, the embryo inherits multiple paternal centrioles. This causes competition for extra chromosomes and results in the disruption of the creation of the cleavage furrow, thus causing the zygote to die. As an important model organism in the study of fertilization and embryonic development, polyspermy in sea urchins has been studied in detail. The sea urchin’s methods of polyspermy prevention have been broken down into two main pathways. These two primary pathways are known as the fast block and the slow block to polyspermy
After the sperm’s receptors come into contact with the egg’s jelly layer and the acrosomal enzymes are released and break down the jelly layer, the sperm head comes into contact with the vitelline and plasma membranes of the egg. When the two plasma membranes contact one another, signals in the egg are initiated.
First, Na+ channels in the egg open, allowing Na+ to flood into the egg. This causes a depolarization of the egg from it’s normal resting potential of -70 mV.
While depolarization is occurring, the remainder of the jelly layer is dissolving. With the dissolution of the jelly layer and the depolarization of the plasma membrane, the first block to preventing fertilization by multiple sperm is put into place.
These two simple changes are part of the first block to polyspermy, known as the fast block. Within 1/10th of a second of contact, the fast block t

cell commitment and differentiation, stem cell,types of differentiationshallu kotwal
The commitment of cells to specific cell fates and their capacity to differentiate into particular kinds of cells.
Cellular differentiation is the process in which a cell changes from one cell type to another. Usually, the cell changes to a more specialized type. Differentiation occurs numerous times during the development of a multicellular organism as it changes from a simple zygote to a complex system of tissues and cell types. Differentiation continues in adulthood as adult stem cells divide and create fully differentiated daughter cells during tissue repair and during normal cell turnover.
Vittelogenesis is a word developed from Latin vitellus-yolk, and genero-produce
Vitellogenesis (also known as yolk deposition) is the process of yolk formation via nutrients being deposited in the oocyte, or female germ cell involved in reproduction of lecithotrophic organisms. In insects, it starts when the fat body stimulates the release of juvenile hormones and produces vitellogenin protein.
Yolks is the most usual form of food storage in the egg.
Yolks appear in the oocyte in the secondary period of their growth called vittelogenesis.
Thus,the formation and deposition of yolks is known as vittelogenesis
Characteristic
Yolks is a complex variable assembled component.
The principle component are protein,phospholipid and fats in different combination.
Depending upon these component yolks is distinguished into protein yolks and fatty acid
For eg- the avian contain 48.19% water , 16.6 % protein, 32.6% phospholipids and fats and 1% carbohydrates.
In all viviparous animals, embryonic development takes place inside the uterus of the mother, because the eggs are microlecithal and the amount of stored yolk is not sufficient for the developing embryo. Such embryos get attached to the uterine wall to draw essential substances from the maternal circulation through the placenta.

It is an important to understand the early stages of reproduction. W.pdfarccreation001
It is an important to understand the early stages of reproduction. When, the egg and sperm unite
to form a zygote, each of the parents supply the zygote with half of the chromosomes necessary
for a full set.
The zygote, which is a single cell, then begins to reproduce itself by the cellular division process
called mitosis, this stage is called morula and the new cells are called elastomers.
When enough cells have been produced (the number varies from species to species), cell
differentiation begins to take place. The first differentiation appears to be when the blastocyst is
formed, which is an almost hollow sphere with a cluster of cells inside; and the differentiation
appears to be between the cells inside, which become the fetus, and the cells outside, which
become the fetal membranes and placenta.
However, the process is not entirely understood at the present time and there is some variation
between species; so it is difficult to pinpoint the onset of differentiation, which some scientists
believe occurs during blastomere division.
The purpose of this ability of a single blastomere to produce an entire embryo is probably to
defence the process of embryo development against the destruction of any of the blastomeres. In
theory, it should be possible to produce an entire embryo from each blastomere (and blastomeres
are generally totipotent from the four to eight cell stage), but in practice it is usually only
possible to produce two embryos.
That is why this procedure is generally referred to as embryo splitting rather than cloning;
although both terms refer to the same thing (cloning is the production of genetically identical
embryos, which is a direct result of embryo splitting).
Interestingly enough, although the embryos produced from separated blastomeres usually have
fewer cells than a normal embryo, the resulting offspring fall within the normal range of size for
the species.
Another interesting embryonic manipulation is the creation of chimaeras. These are formed by
uniting two different gametes, so that the embryo has two distinct cell lineages. Chimaeras do
not combine the genetic information of both lineages in each cell. Instead, they are a patchwork
of cells containing one lineage or the other. For this reason, the offspring of chimaeras are from
one distinct genotype or the other, but not from both.
Thus chimaeras are not useful for creating new animal populations beyond the first generation.
However, they are extremely useful in other contexts. For instance, while embryo division as
described above is limited in the number of viable embryos that can be produced, chimaeras can
be used to increase the number.
After the blastomeres are separated, they can be combined with blastomeres of a different
genetic lineage. It has been found that with the additional tissue, the survival rate of the new
embryos is more favorable. For some reason only a small percentage of the resulting embryos are
chimaeric; this is thought to be because on.
REPRODUCTION
Reproduction is the capacity of all living things to give rise to new living things. It includes the transmission of hereditary material from the parent/parents.
The two types of reproduction are:
Asexual Reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Is the simplest form of reproduction. Occurs in plants, animals, bacteria, and protists Requires one parent. Is more reliable than sexual reproduction. Doesn’t allow for any type of genetic variation.
TYPES
Sporulation
Fragmentation
Regeneration
Binary Fission
Budding
Vegetative propagation
SPORULATION
Spore is a reproductive cell that produces a new organism.
Spores are unicellular if conditions are right a spore will develop into a new individual.
They can be carried by the wind, water, or animals
FRAGMENTATION
When a organism is broken into more than one part.
Organism must have good regeneration abilities.
Create many new organisms quickly.
REGENERATION
An organism can replace/re-grow an injured or lost part
Regeneration in plants from
Roots
Stem
leaf
Regeneration in animals
For simple organisms
No vertebrates have this power
Examples are starfish and the salamander
BINARY FISSION
One parent dividing into two by mitosis
Offspring are always genetically identical
Cells may stay close together to form filaments or colonies
Examples-Bacteria and Amoebas
BUDDING
Form on part of the parent by growing an outgrowth which then detaches
Example- is Hydra and Yeast
Offspring will always be genetically identical to the parent
VEGETATIVE PROPOGATION
Plant parts make new plant
Reproduction is very quick
Disadvantage: many plants grow close to each other
Bulbs
– Underground stem
– Surrounded by colorless leaves
– Colorless leaves protect the bulb
– The green leaves store the food
Rhizomes
– Underground stem
– They store food for new plant
– At the end of Rhizomes nodes
Runners(strawberries)
– They are above ground.
– Stems – Nodes form at the end of Runners
– They grow outward
Tuber (potatoes)
– Underground stem
– Stores food
– The nodes eat the tuber
– Potatoes have eyes / buds to make new tubers and or reproduce
Grafting
– Surgically connecting two similar plants
– Ex. Apples – Not done naturally
Cutting
– Cutting off a stem or leaf to reproduce a new plant
– Must be in wet or moist area
– Combination of regeneration and fragmentation
– Not done naturally
Cloning
What is cloning?
Cloning is the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. This means that every single bit of DNA is the same between the two!
How does one go about making an exact genetic copy of an organism? There are a couple of ways to do this: artificial embryo twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
2. Twins-two off springs produced by the same
pregnancy.
The two babies born at the time for a mother.
Twins are due to multiple pregnancy.
The early cells of the mammalian embryo can
replace each other and compensate for a
missing cell.
This regulative ability was first demonstrated in
1952, when Seidel destroyed one cell of a 2-
cell rabbit embryo and the remaining cell
produced an entire embryo.
3. The regulative capacity of the ICM
blastomeres is also seen in humans.
Human twins are classified into two
major groups:
Monozygotic twins
Dizygotic twins
4. Monozygotic twins are otherwise called
as identical twins.
They are extremely similar in their
characters.
Develop from single zygote
During cleavage, the zygote divides into
two blastomeres.
These blastomeres separate and each
develops into a baby.
5.
6. The two babies are similar in all
respects.
Same sex.
Same type of genes.
Same type of blood group.
They are generally opposite handed.
They show similar whirls of hair on the
head but in a reverse order like mirror
image.
7. Due to the arrangement of placenta and
membranes it is divided into 4 types
These types depends on division of
zygote.
Dichorionic diamniotic twins
Monochorionic diamniotic twins
Monochorionic monoamniotic twins
conjoined twins
8.
9. Where each twin has its own chorionic
and amniotic sacs.
This type occurs most commonly with
dizygotic twins but may also occur with
monozygotic twin pregnancies.
This type of pregnancy may have
characteristic findings on ultrasound.
10. This type of twins are the product of a
single fertilized ovum, resulting in
genetically identical offspring.
They share a single placenta but have
separate amniotic sacs.
The occurrence of this type of twins
occurs at a rate of three to four in 1,000
live birth.
11. They are the monozygotic multiples.
They share a single amniotic and single
placenta.
But they have separate umbilical cord.
This case is very rare and may cause
risk to the babies due to cord
entanglement.
12. Conjoined twins also known as siamese
twins.
They are identical twins that have not split
properly after fertilization.
They share body and may share vital
organs.
Separation of conjoined twins is usually
performed at a very young stage.
In some cases the brain or the heart must
be separated in order to provide each twin
with vital organs.
13. Dizygotic twins are otherwise called as
fraternal twins.
Fraternal twins are like ordinary brothers
and sisters.
Develop from two independent zygote.
So they are called as dizygotic twins.
Formed by the fertilization of two eggs by
two sperms.
They may be of same sex or opposite sex.
Different genotypes.
14.
15. Dissimilar characters.
They are called as non-identical twins.
If both eggs are fertilized by the X-
chromosome female babies are produced.
If both the eggs are fertilized by the Y-
chromosomes male babies are produced.
If one egg is fertilized by X carrying sperm
and another by Y carrying sperm male and
female babies are produced.
16. 2 to 3 fold increased than singletons.
Threatened and spontaneous abortion.
Severe anemia
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes.
Operative delivery
Increased maternal mortality.
18. Monoamniotic twins – 1 in 20
monochorionic twins are monoamniotic
Associated with high fetal death rate
from cord entanglement, congenital
anomalies, preterm birth or twin-twin
transfusion syndrome
Diamniotic twins can become
monoamniotic if the dividing membrane
ruptures.
19. External parasitic twins- grossly defective
fetus or merely fetal parts attached
externally to a relatively normal twins.
Believed to result from demise of the
defective twin with its surviving tissues
attached to and vascularised by its normal
twin.
Fetus in early development one embryo
may be enfolded within its twin
Classically vertebral or axial bones are
found in these fetiform mases supported by
their host by a few large parasitic vessels.
20. Two amniotic sacs and a common
surrounding chorion.
Anatomical sharing of the two fetal
circulations through anastomoses of
placental arteries and veins.
Artery to artery anastomoses are most
common and are identified on the
chorionic surface of the placenta-75%
Vein to vein and artery to vein -50%
21. Deep artery to vein connections can extend
from capillary bed of a given villus creating
a common villous compartment or third
circulation.
Depending on the degree to which they are
hemodynamically balanced severity
occurs.
With significant pressure or flow gradients
a shunt will develop between fetuses.
Chorionic feto fetal transfusion results in
several clinical syndromes.
22. 5-17% of monochorionic twin
Blood is transfused from donor twin to
its recipient sibling- donor is anemic and
growth may be restricted.
Recipient become polycythemic, with
circulatory overload and may manifest
as hydrops.
Deoxygenated blood from donor
placental artery pumped into a cotyledon
shared by recipient.
23.
24.
25. Once oxygen exchange is completed in
the chorionic villus, oxygenated blood
leaves the cotyledon via a placental vein
of the recipient twin.
Clinically important TTTs is frequently
chorionic, results from significant volume
differences.
26.
27. It is a condition in which presence of two
or more chromosomal complements
found in the same tissue of an
individual.
The divergent genotypes are usually
found in all across the genome.
It occurs in single organism composed
of cells with distinct genotype.
Chimeras can happen with organ
transplantation.
28.
29. Natural chimerism
Organism with mixed sexual
characteristics.
May occur when two fertilized eggs fuse
together.
SRY genes gets transferred to the X
chromosome during meiosis.
Organism developed are known as
hermaphrodite.
30. Occurs due to fertilization of an oocyte
and its second polar body by two
sperms.
Also occur when a zygote fuses with a
fertilized polar body.
The organism developed from the
zygote consist both type of genetic
materials.
31.
32. It is the presence of
two genetically distinct
and separately derived
populations of cells.
One population being
at a low concentration
than other.
The cells genetically
distinct from those of
the host individual.
Usually occurs to
foetus from mother.
33. Occurs due to
fertilization of two
separate ova by two
sperm, followed by
aggregation of the
two at the blastocyst
or zygote stages.
Organism with
intermingled cell
lines.
Organism developed
possess organs that
have different sets of
chromosomes.
34.
35. Usually found in Angler fish.
The male releases an enzyme that digests
the skin of his mouth and the body of the
male
Formation of single hermaphroditic
individual takes place
The male develops large testicles and
atrophy of other organs take place.
Becomes able to have a great number of
offsprings.
36. Occurs when the germ cells of an
organism are not genetically identical to
its own.
Mainly found in marmosets
They carry the reproductive cells of their
fraternal twin siblings
Occurs because of placental fusion
during development.
37.
38.
39. It can be done by grafting genetically
different parents, different cultivates or
different species.
Tissues get partially fused together
40. These are chimeras in which the layers
differ in their chromosome constitution.
Occaionally occurs due to loss or gain of
individual chromosome or chromosomal
fragments owing to miss divsion.
It has various effects on cell size and
growth characteristics.
41. These chimerism arise by spontaneous or
induced mutation of a nuclear gene to a
dominant and recessive allele.
One character is affected at a time in leaf,
flower, fruit and other parts.
42. These arise by spontaneous or induced
mutation of a plastid gene.
Plastids may sort-out from a mixed egg or
mixed zygote respectively.
It affects the colour of the plasmids with in
the leaves.
43. It is the most lethal virus
till date.
Developed by soviet
union in 1980 as “Project
Chimera”.
Virus was developed by
combining DNA of
Venezuelan Equine
Encephalitis Virus,
Smallpox Virus and Ebola
Virus.
Developed as a bio-
weapon.
The project was
abandoned due to its
significant risks.
