The below mentioned article provides a short note on Microtubule and Spindle. During the process of cell division the cytoplasmic network of microtubules disappears and the microtubules are reassembled in the form of spindle in the dividing cell (in both mitotic and meiotic cell division). Though the controlling pattern of this disappearance and recognized is not very clear, but it [...]
Learn about the Comparison between Meiosis and Mitosis. Comparison # Meiosis: 1. In mitosis, chromosome doubling is followed by separation of daughter chromosomes, i.e., there is division of centromere in mitosis. 2. Mitosis occurs in all the cells of the body. 3. It completes in one sequence of stages, i.e., there is only series of divisional stages. Prophase: 4. Prophase [...]
In this article we will discuss about the cell division and cell cycle in prokaryotes. Bacterial cell division is also termed as fission. The bacterial chromosome is circular and attached to the plasma membrane at a specific point. Its replication starts from an initiation point. Both the copies of the chromosome are attached to the plasma membrane, close to each [...]
