The anaphase-promoting complex (APC) initiates exit from mitosis by ubiquitinating A- and B-type cyclins, the activating subunits of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1). Subsequently, the APC has to be ...
Interphase is the period between cell divisions. During this time, chromosomes replicate—each DNA strand unzips into two strands while free-floating bases attach to the unzipped strands. The ...

What Are the Phases of Mitosis?

Mitosis is the mechanism by which a eukaryotic cell divides its nucleus and chromosomes to produce two genetically identical ...

Chromosomes are a highly condensed form of DNA and are crucial for cell division. During mitosis, chromosomes ensure that the genetic material is equally divided among the daughter cells.

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...
Mitotic chromosomes are pivotal for the inheritance of genetic material. Now, it is already known that chromosomes vary in dimensions among organisms. But what governs mitotic chromosomal size and ...
