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 ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

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 ...

Centrosomes are nonmembrane organelles and responsible for microtubule nucleation and organization. Centrosomal RNAs have been identified in diverse model systems and are known to regulate gene ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
