Cells use many complex genetic repair backup systems to fix DNA damage and remain healthy throughout their lives.

For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA -- its genome -- and segregate it equally into two new daughter cells. To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells ...
