Chiasma (genetics) In genetics, a chiasma (pl. chiasmata) is the point of contact, the physical link, between two (non-sister) chromatids belonging to homologous chromosomes. At a given chiasma, an exchange of genetic material can occur between both chromatids, what is called a chromosomal crossover, but this is much more frequent during meiosis than mitosis. In meiosis, absence of a chiasma usually result in improper chromosomal segregation and aneuploidy.
For example, certain kinds of breast cancers are insulin sensitive, and thus eating a lot of carbohydrates (ironically like in a vegan diet) would cause your body to produce lots of insulin, making this an inefficacious strategy in reducing risk for those particular kinds of cancer.
An Overview of What Vegans Eat on a Daily Basis. The phrase, âa vegan diet,â is generally associated with a way of eating that is bland, restrictive, and tasteless. Vegans do not eat meat, cheese, dairy or eggs, but the selection is never-ending and chock-full of delicious choices. It is a major misconception that vegans can only eat salads and tofu.
