  2. Anaphase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaphase

    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.

  3. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    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 ...

  4. Mitosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis

    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 ...

  5. Cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle

    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.

  6. Mitotic index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitotic_index

    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 ...

  7. Cytokinesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokinesis

    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

  8. Spindle checkpoint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle_checkpoint

    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.

  9. Chromosome segregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_segregation

    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).
