Figure 2: Comparison of the traditional phases of mitosis (top) and our proposed transitions (bottom). Given that the early stages of chromosome condensation are reversible in many organisms ...

It is now well-established that spindles are bipolar arrays of microtubules composed of tubulin (Figure 5) and that the centrosomes nucleate the growth of the spindle microtubules. During mitosis ...

The cell undergoes a type of cell division called mitosis. In mitosis, two cells called daughter cells are produced, each identical to the parent cell. When looking at cells with a microscope ...

This solution is called meiosis. Mitosis describes the process by which the nucleus of a cell divides to create two new nuclei, each containing an identical copy of DNA. (Cytokinesis describes the ...

Welcome to Mitosis vs. Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates mitosis—the division of a cell's nucleus. Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a ...
