This type of cell division in eukaryotes is known as mitosis, and leaves the daughter cell capable of dividing again. The corresponding sort of cell division in prokaryotes is known as binary fission.

Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in the formation of two distinct daughter cells. Although technically not part of mitosis, cytokinesis often occurs concurrently with telophase.

The phases of mitosis are known as prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. You do not need to learn these terms. Explore the BBC Bitesize study guide about cell division for explainer text ...

Cyclin B1 is relevant in mitosis, a type of cell division. The researchers observed how cyclin B1 docks onto substrates with its pocket and influences the behavior of the kinase as a result.

CMRI researchers discovered that DNA repair pathways control how cancer cells die after radiotherapy. Blocking a key repair ...

Greatwall, a conserved MAST-like kinase with crucial mitotic entry functions, is curiously absent in worms. Here, the single canonical MAST kinase family member KIN-4 is shown to fulfill this role and ...

Scientists at Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) have solved a big mystery in cancer research – why cells die in ...

Although ATK1 was a nuclear protein and ATK5 cytoplasmic prior to nuclear envelop breakdown, at later mitotic stages, the two motors shared similar localization patterns of uniform association with ...

Cytoplasmic flows guide chromosome positioning during embryogenesis. During the first stages of animal embryo development, the egg cell undergoes multiple divisions without growin ...

Chromosomes carry genetic information in a molecule called DNA. A type of cell division called mitosis ensures that when a cell divides each new cell produced has the same genetic information.
