A cell during anaphase. Microtubules are visible in green. Stages of late M phase in a vertebrate cell. Anaphase (from Ancient Greek ἀνα-() 'back, backward' and φάσις (phásis) 'appearance') is the stage of mitosis after the process of metaphase, when replicated chromosomes are split and the newly-copied chromosomes (daughter chromatids) are moved to opposite poles of the cell.
Cell division gives rise to genetically identical cells in which the total number of chromosomes is maintained. ... Anaphase is a very short stage of the cell cycle ...
Cell division by mitosis is an equational division which gives rise to genetically identical cells in which the total number of ... In most animal cells, anaphase A ...
The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G 1 phase, S phase (synthesis), G 2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis). M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes: mitosis, in which the cell's nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, in which the cell's cytoplasm and cell membrane divides forming two daughter cells.
The mitotic index is the number of cells undergoing mitosis divided by the total number of cells. ... and T are the number of cells in prophase, metaphase, anaphase ...
Diploid – Number of sets of chromosomes of a cell; Telophase – Final stage of a cell division for eukaryotic cells both in mitosis and meiosis; Prophase – First phase of cell division in both mitosis and meiosis; Anaphase – Stage of a cell division; Metaphase – Stage of cell division
Cancer cells have been observed to divide in multiple directions by evading the spindle assembly checkpoint resulting in multipolar mitoses. [78] The multipolar metaphase-anaphase transition occurs through an incomplete separase cycle that results in frequent nondisjunction events which amplify aneuploidy in cancer cells.
Chromosome segregation occurs at two separate stages during meiosis called anaphase I and anaphase II (see meiosis diagram). In a diploid cell there are two sets of homologous chromosomes of different parental origin (e.g. a paternal and a maternal set).
