In this article we will discuss about the two parts of cell division: 1. Mitosis 2. Meiosis. The process in which a cell divides to form two new cells, each containing a nucleus, is called cell division. It is of two types i.e., mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, which is also called vegetative cell division, the chromosomes in the nucleus [...]
The following points highlight the four important phases of mitosis. The phases are: 1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase. Mitosis: Phase # 1. Prophase: During prophase, the individual chromosome appears in double threaded structure composed of two chromatids from the beginning. During this phase, the volume of the chromosomes too increases considerably and there is initiation of coiling [...]
The following points highlight the top eight events of molecular mechanism in m-phase. The events are: 1. Molecular Mechanism of Chromosome Condensation 2. Molecular Mechanism of Nuclear Membrane Breakdown 3. Molecular Mechanism of Spindle Formation 4. Molecular Mechanism of Capturing Chromosomes by Microtubules 5. Molecular Mechanism of Separation of Chromatids and Others. Events of Molecular Mechanism in M-Phase: Molecular Mechanism [...]
