Words similar to transitions
Example sentences for: transitions
How can you use “transitions” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
During this transition, tightly-regulated post-translational phosphorylation-dephosphorylation events and proteasome-mediated proteolytic reactions regulate the activation and inactivation of signal transduction pathways that control chromatin condensation, nuclear membrane dissolution, microtubule nucleation, and formation of a haploid oocyte [ 8 9 10 ] . Several kinases that exert major roles during OM include maturation promoting factor (MPF) [ 9 11 ] , mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) [ 12 13 ] , and the product of the c-mos protooncogene Mos kinase [ 14 15 ] . Also, during OM oocytes undergo two highly-regulated metaphase-anaphase transitions (MAT) in which homologous chromosomes are equally and randomly segregated to an oocyte and first polar body and a subsequent division in which equational division of sister chromatids results in a haploid oocyte and a second polar body.
American editorialists protested the transition is too slow, but Nigerians count themselves lucky, since previous "transitions" have been slower and illusory.
An important question in biology is how many different fundamental cellular states or transitions exist.
Genome-wide expression studies found that around 300 genes were induced and around 600 genes were repressed in response to a wide variety of stressful environmental transitions [ 30 37 ] . Many of these genes also showed subtly different expression patterns in response to specific stimuli, suggesting that the common environmental stress response may be modulated by the activity of condition-specific transcription factors [ 30 ] .
Some consecutive stages, although morphologically distinguishable, differ very little in terms of changes in gene expression, whereas other stage transitions, such as the onset of zygotic transcription or organogenesis, are accompanied by massive changes in gene expression.
