During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus. Mitosis is conventionally divided into five stages known as prophase ...
Interphase The cell spends most of its life in this phase. The DNA in chromosomes copies itself ready for mitosis. Prophase The DNA in chromosomes and their copies condenses to become more visible.
Here we argue that mitosis can be subdivided into five transitional phases characterized by the activity of defined cell-cycle regulators, in particular the mitotic cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs ...
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 ...
when the parent cell combines with another parent cell, the proper amount of DNA is maintained. This solution is called meiosis. Mitosis describes the process by which the nucleus of a cell ...
Species with multinucleate stages, where cells contain multiple nuclei, tended to undergo closed mitosis. Conversely, species with predominantly mononucleate stages – single nuclei per cell ...
