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 ...

The work therefore has direct implications for our general understanding of how eukaryotic cell division mechanisms evolve and diversify in the context of diverse life cycles, and provides a key ...

What happens during mitosis? During mitosis, a eukaryotic cell undergoes a carefully coordinated nuclear division that results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells.

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

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

In the course of growth and division, eukaryotic cells duplicate their genomes with remarkable fidelity. The precision of this process depends in large measure upon stringent regulatory mechanisms ...

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 ...
