Cell division, the basic means by which genetic information is passed from generation to generation, involves tightly coordinated movements of a cell's DNA. This page describes the major phases of ...

Mitosis is conventionally divided into five stages known as prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. While mitosis is taking place, there is no cell growth and all of the ...

As in telophase I, the cytoplasm of the cell will be concentrated in one of the two emerging cells. The resulting large cell will become an egg cell. The smaller cell will degenerate.

Telophase New membranes form around the chromosomes at each end of the cell. Cytokinesis The cell membrane pinches in and eventually divides into two daughter cells.

The cell cycle can be broken down into six key stages: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis. Interphase is always at the start, Cytokinesis is always at the end ...

However, the molecular density went down in telophase, when chromosome decondensation began. Using hypotonic or hypertonic treatment of the mitotic cells, the team observed consistent changes in ...

There is an initial duplication of DNA before cell division followed by stages of cell division: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. See Table 1 for a review of genetic terminology.

These constraints were loosened during telophase, the last phase of cell division, when chromosome decompaction begins. The ...
