Cell division occurs as a part of the “cell cycle”. Just like your day has a routine from day to night, cells have routines of their own. The cell cycle is generally described as consisting of four ...

Mitosis is conventionally divided into five stages known as prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. While mitosis is taking place, there is no cell growth and all of the ...

The rest of the cell continues to divide. Only when two, distinct cells form will cytokinesis, the division of the cell's cytoplasm, be complete. There are now four daughter cells. Each cell has ...

Cytokinesis is the physical separation of two cells that occurs after the completion of mitosis. The mechanism underlying it is very complex. Until recently, the processes that lead to cleavage furrow ...

Flawless division In animal cells, division involves mitosis, the separation of chromosomes followed by splitting of the cell into two new daughter cells by cytokinesis.

The process of mitosis has made more clear, thanks to recent research. A new study describes how Topo 2, an enzyme that disentangles DNA molecules and is essential for proper cell division.

Mitosis will produce two daughter cells which are genetically identical to the parent cell. If this is a human cell, it will contain all 46 chromosomes with the full DNA to make an exact copy of ...

The BCCIP knockdown cells can enter mitosis and retain spindle checkpoint, but fail to complete cytokinesis. Our data suggest an essential role of BCCIP in the maintenance of genomic integrity.

Difference Between Mitosis and Meiosis This article will explore the characteristics of both kinds of cell division, shining a light on how they are similar and in which aspects they are crucially ...
