Cell division is essential to the propagation of life. During cell division, mitotic spindles segregate duplicated chromosomes with high fidelity. Spindle structure depends on the proper polar ...

A large structure called the mitotic spindle also forms from long proteins called microtubules on each side, or pole, of the cell. During prometaphase, the nuclear envelope that encloses the ...

Once all chromosomes are aligned near the spindle equator (to form a plate) the cell is ... definitions of mitotic progression because they are independent of chromosome structure and alignment ...

Same as in mitosis, except that the spindle fibers from each centriole attach to one chromosome of a matching chromosome pair. In other words, the fibers from one centriole attach to 23 ...

This spindle is made of fibers. The centrioles begin to separate. The activities are the same as in mitosis, except that in this cell the chromosomes attach to the membrane of the nucleus and then ...

This structure allows the migration of chromosomes during cell division ... the scientists focused on the length of the ...
