In order to move from one phase of its life cycle to the next, a cell must pass through numerous checkpoints. At each checkpoint, specialized proteins determine whether the necessary conditions exist.

The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the ... structures that assemble during prometaphase on one face of each sister chromatid at its centromere. As prometaphase ensues ...

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

Welcome to Mitosis vs. Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates mitosis—the division of a cell's nucleus. Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a ...

Interphase The cell spends most of its life in this phase. The DNA in chromosomes copies ... Telophase New membranes form around the chromosomes at each end of the cell. Cytokinesis The cell ...

This solution is called meiosis. Mitosis describes the process by which the nucleus of a cell divides to create two new nuclei, each containing an identical copy of DNA. (Cytokinesis describes the ...
