The chromatids (now also considered chromosomes) arrive at the opposite ends of the cell, and new nuclear membranes form. Mitosis, which describes only the division of the nucleus, is now complete. As ...

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the ...

Cell division is the mechanism by which DNA is passed from one generation of cells to the next and ultimately, from parent organisms to their offspring. Although eukaryotes and prokaryotes both engage ...

Mitosis is the main cell reproduction process in a living organism's tissues, and meiosis is the process that induces sex cell formation in the gonads of organisms that reproduce sexually. The Meiosin ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from ...

A research team at The University of Osaka has found a novel pathway for depositing CENP-A into vertebrate centromeres, which ...

Most cells in the tissues of most organisms proliferate through somatic cell division (mitosis). This is a continuous cycle where a single cell doubles its genetic information (chromosomes) and ...

Animals and fungi predominantly use two different modes of cell division -- called open and closed mitosis, respectively. A new study has shown that different species of Ichthyosporea -- marine ...

The chromatids arrive at the either end of each cell and new nuclear membranes form. With meiosis in a female, there is only one dividing cell at this point. As in telophase I, the cytoplasm of the ...

In textbooks, the grand-finale of cell division is the tug-of-war fought inside dividing cells as duplicated pairs of chromosomes get dragged in opposite directions into daughter cells. This process, ...
