The Incredible Krebs Cycle
Earlier, I wrote about various obstacles to the evolutionary origins of the glycolytic pathway. As noted previously, the end result of glycolysis is pyruvate.
Challenges to the Evolutionary Origins of the Glycolytic Pathway
The complexity and engineering sophistication comport much better with the hypothesis of design.
The Formation of Our Digits Points to a Process with Foresight
Our digits are sculpted from a paddle-like structure in the embryo through the process of apoptosis.
Engineered Elegance: Generating the Wait Anaphase Signal
Even a single unattached kinetochore is sufficient to trigger the wait anaphase signal, which inhibits activation of the APC/C that drives entry into anaphase.
The Elegant Spindle Assembly Checkpoint
Without this exquisitely engineered system, the cell risks distributing an uneven number of chromosomes to the daughter cells.
