    This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 19 February 2025. Process in which chromosomes are replicated and separated into two new identical nuclei For the type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms used to produce gametes, see Meiosis. For excessive constriction of the pupils, see Miosis. For the parasitic infestation, see Myiasis ...

  3. Chromosome segregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_segregation

    Mitosis divides the chromosomes in a cell nucleus. During mitosis chromosome segregation occurs routinely as a step in cell division (see mitosis diagram). As indicated in the mitosis diagram, mitosis is preceded by a round of DNA replication, so that each chromosome forms two copies called chromatids .

  4. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    Cell division in prokaryotes (binary fission) and eukaryotes (mitosis and meiosis). The thick lines are chromosomes, and the thin blue lines are fibers pulling on the chromosomes and pushing the ends of the cell apart. The cell cycle in eukaryotes: I = Interphase, M = Mitosis, G 0 = Gap 0, G 1 = Gap 1, G 2 = Gap 2, S = Synthesis, G 3 = Gap 3.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuronal_cell_cycle

    These neurons are unable to enter mitosis and are stuck in a 4C DNA content state. Cell cycle re-entry by p75NTR is not dependent on Cdk4/6 (Morillo et al., 2012) and, therefore, differs from other cell types that re-enter the cell cycle.

  6. G1 phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G1_phase

    G 1 phase together with the S phase and G 2 phase comprise the long growth period of the cell cycle cell division called interphase that takes place before cell division in mitosis (M phase). [1] During G 1 phase, the cell grows in size and synthesizes mRNA and protein that are required for DNA synthesis. Once the required proteins and growth ...

  7. Metaphase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphase

    Stages of early mitosis in a vertebrate cell with micrographs of chromatids Metaphase (from Ancient Greek μετα- ( meta- ) beyond, above, transcending and from Ancient Greek φάσις (phásis) 'appearance') is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage (they are ...

  8. Bookmarking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarking

    [1] [2] The term bookmarking compares transcription to reading from a book. The pause in transcription during mitosis is like closing the book. "Molecular bookmarks" are the factors that allow transcription to resume in an orderly fashion in newborn cells following mitosis (when the book is re-opened). Bookmarks fulfill the following criteria:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mitosis_Stages.svg

    English: A diagram of mitosis stages Interphase (G₂): In this substage, the cell prepares for nuclear division and a protein that makes microtubles for cell division is synthesized. Prophase: The longest stage of mitosis. In this stage the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
