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 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 [...]
