Chromosome Movement in Anaphase | Cell Biology

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Dynamics of Chromosome 2. Events of Chromosome Movement 3. Mechanism. Introduction to Chromosome Movement: Chromosomes are involved in a series of directed movements during both mitosis and meiosis. With the separation of the sister chromatids/homologues at anaphase, the equilibrium is broken, the chromosomes move towards the poles at the rate [...]

Chromosome Movement during Cell Division

In this article we will discuss about the chromosome movement during cell division. The chromosome movement during cell division is chiefly due to the spindle apparatus. This apparatus contains three different types of microtubules: (a) Astral microtubules, radiating from centrioles (found in animal cells only); (b) Continuous or inter-polar microtubules, passing from one pole to the other, account for the [...]
