The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements of hundreds of proteins. How did early biologists unravel this complex dance of chromosomes? The most obvious ...

Mitosis is the mechanism by which a eukaryotic cell divides its nucleus and chromosomes to produce two genetically identical ...

Most cells grow, perform the activities needed to survive, and divide to create new cells. These basic processes, known collectively as the cell cycle, are repeated throughout the life of a cell.

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

This activity has been carefully designed to help you see and understand exactly what’s happening during each stage of mitosis. Mitosis will produce two daughter cells which are genetically ...

As viewed from a human perspective, nature has done some ingenious engineering to overcome some of the obstacles it has faced. Take the evolution of sex, for instance. To make the move from ...
