Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

While animals and fungi share a common eukaryotic ancestry, their mechanisms of cell division, particularly mitosis, have diverged significantly, raising intriguing evolutionary questions.

eukaryotic — which have two different types of cells. An organism can be made up of either one type or the other. Some ...

A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order.

Bacteria are amongst the simplest of organisms – they are made of single cells. Their cell structure is simpler than the cells of animals, plants and fungi.

as well as the proper function of genes in eukaryotic organisms. The two proteins, KNL2 and CENP-C, are crucial for correctly separating chromosomes during cell division. They dock precisely onto ...
