During metaphase, the microtubules pull the sister chromatids back and forth until they align in a plane, called the equatorial plane, along the center of the cell. During anaphase, the sister ...

ChromTR, a novel framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in the ...

Other species such as sea lampreys eliminate whole chromosomes instead of DNA fragments. During cell division, these chromosomes migrate to the metaphase plate along with the other chromosomes, but do ...

To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells during cell division, each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies. How the cell ...

ChromTR, a cutting-edge framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in ...

During this stage, one set of chromosomes is pulled to the sides of the cell and the nucleus divides. The phases of mitosis are known as prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. You do not ...

Next, chromosomes assume their most compacted state during metaphase, when the centromeres of all the cell's chromosomes line up at the equator of the spindle. Metaphase is particularly useful in ...

Now is a good time to revisit the images and information about the basic functions of the cytoskeleton during interphase (cell shape and transport). Examples of questions to ask students: Describe the ...
