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 ...

With the aid of these microtubules, the chromosome pairs then line up along the equator of the cell, termed the metaphase plate (Figure 2). As the new chromosomes reach the spindle during ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

ChromTR, a novel framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in the field of cytogenetics. This framework, which integrates semantic feature ...

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 ...

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 ...
