Spindle fibers form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell. The spindle is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during ...

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an ...

These are believed to be early spindle whorls — small, weighted discs used to spin fibers into yarn more efficiently. This discovery not only showcases an impressive technological leap but also ...

The spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes. The centrioles are now at opposite ends of the cell. As in mitosis prometaphase, fibers from both ends of the cells attach to each one of the four ...

A spindle begins to form from the centrioles. This spindle is made of fibers. The centrioles begin to separate. The activities are the same as in mitosis, except that in this cell the chromosomes ...
