New York [US], July 21 (ANI): A fertilised egg does not ensure successful reproduction in humans. Within days following fertilisation, the majority of embryos stop growing and die, typically due to an abnormally high number of chromosomes. The majority of these faults, according to new research from Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, are caused by unintentional mistakes made during DNA replication during the first stages of cell division.
