Chromosome Replication02:31

Chromosome Replication

10.6K
Before a cell can divide, it must accurately replicate all of its chromosomes, including the DNA and its associated histone and non-histone proteins.  This process begins at numerous origins of replication during the S phase of the cell cycle in each of a cell’s chromosomes simultaneously. Certain nucleotides can act as origins of replication, but these sequences are not well defined - especially in complex, multi-cellular, eukaryotic species. The length of DNA that spans an origin...

DNA Replication

DNA replication involves the separation of the two strands of the double helix, with each strand serving as a template from which the new complementary strand is copied.  After replication, each double-stranded DNA includes one parental or “old” strand and one “new” strand. This is known as semiconservative replication. The resulting DNA molecules have the same sequence and are divided equally into the two daughter cells.

Replication in Prokaryotes

DNA replication has three main steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. Replication in prokaryotes begins when initiator proteins bind to the single origin of replication (ori) on the cell's circular chromosome. Replication then proceeds around the entire circle of the chromosome in each direction from the two replication forks, resulting in two DNA molecules.

Replication in Eukaryotes

17.4K
In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication is highly conserved and tightly regulated. Multiple linear chromosomes must be duplicated with high fidelity before cell division, so there are many proteins that fulfill specialized roles in the replication process. Replication occurs in three phases: initiation, elongation, and termination, and ends with two complete sets of chromosomes in the nucleus.

Summary

Researchers explored the uncanny valley (UV) effect, finding it more consistently replicated with photorealistic robot images than with CGI morphing techniques. This suggests stimulus type is crucial for studying the UV effect.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Human-Robot Interaction
  • Psychology

Background:

  • The uncanny valley (UV) effect describes the unsettling feeling evoked by robots closely resembling humans.
  • Replicability of UV effect findings is uncertain, necessitating further investigation into experimental conditions.
  • Previous research often utilizes computer-generated imagery (CGI) and morphing techniques to elicit the UV.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the replicability of the uncanny valley effect across different stimulus types.
  • To compare the efficacy of photorealistic versus morphed CGI stimuli in eliciting the UV effect.
  • To determine optimal stimulus characteristics for reliable uncanny valley research.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted six studies (N=1343) involving laboratory and online experiments.
  • Utilized CGI stimuli created via morphing techniques (Studies 1-2, 4a-4b).
  • Employed pre-validated, non-morphed, photorealistic robot and human images (Studies 3a-3b, 4a-4b).

Main Results:

  • Failed to replicate the UV effect using morphed CGI stimuli in initial studies.
  • Successfully elicited a prominent UV effect using photorealistic, non-morphed robot images.
  • Exploratory studies confirmed the UV effect with both morphed and photorealistic stimuli, but with variations.

Conclusions:

  • The uncanny valley effect is more robustly elicited by pre-validated, photorealistic stimuli.
  • Photorealistic images are more suitable for studying the UV effect than less realistic CGI.
  • Findings highlight the context sensitivity of the UV effect and the importance of stimulus selection.
