In the process of replicating themselves, cells have another choice: do they want to make an identical copy and be left with two cells? Or do they want to make four “half-copies”, in preparation for ...

The activity on this page was designed by science education experts to explain and visualise the three stages of mitosis. By interacting with the activity, you'll see the mitosis phases and ...

The activity on this page has been designed by educational experts to help you learn the three stages of mitosis through a hands-on experience. Mitosis will produce two daughter cells which are ...

Scientists have gained new insight into the process of mitosis in mammalian cells. Researchers have succeeded in deciphering a heretofore unknown mechanism that plays a key role in cell shape changes ...

I loved my science courses when I was in Junior High School; we leaned to make batteries, how molecules combine to form the world we see around us, and basically I got a picture of where we stood in ...

Chromosome Duplication Occurs Prior To Both Mitosis And Meiosis.

Cells can measure how long they spend in mitosis. If mitosis is prolonged due to problems during chromosome separation, the Mitotic Stopwatch Complex is formed, which may lead to cell arrest or cell ...

The cell cycle analysis of Chinese hamster lung fibroblast V79-8 line by the premature chromosome condensation method has confirmed the absence of measurable G1 and G2 periods. Sendai virus-mediated ...

The APC/C (anaphase-promoting complex; also known as the cyclosome) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediates the ubiquitylation of key substrates for their degradation by the proteasome at precise ...

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...
