  2. Metaphase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphase

    These chromosomes, carrying genetic information, align in the equator of the cell between the spindle poles at the metaphase plate, before being separated into each of the two daughter nuclei. This alignment marks the beginning of metaphase. [2] Metaphase accounts for approximately 4% of the cell cycle's duration. [citation needed]

  3. List of map projections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections

    Not properly "a" map projection because it is on two surfaces instead of one, it consists of two hemispheric equidistant azimuthal projections back-to-back. [5] [6] [7] 1879 Peirce quincuncial: Other Conformal Charles Sanders Peirce: Tessellates. Can be tiled continuously on a plane, with edge-crossings matching except for four singular points ...

  4. Equirectangular projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equirectangular_projection

    Equirectangular projection of the world; the standard parallel is the equator (plate carrée projection). Equirectangular projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation and with the standard parallels lying on the equator True-colour satellite image of Earth in equirectangular projection Height map of planet Earth at 2km per pixel, including oceanic bathymetry information, normalized as 8 ...

  5. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    In metaphase, the centromeres of the chromosomes align themselves on the metaphase plate (or equatorial plate), an imaginary line that is at equal distances from the two centrosome poles and held together by complexes known as cohesins.

  6. World Meteorological Organization squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Meteorological...

    World Meteorological Organization (WMO) squares is a system of geocodes that divides a world map with latitude-longitude gridlines into grid cells of 10° latitude by 10° longitude, each with a unique, 4-digit numeric identifier.

  7. Mercator projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection

    For example, a Mercator map printed in a book might have an equatorial width of 13.4 cm corresponding to a globe radius of 2.13 cm and an RF of approximately ⁠ 1 / 300M ⁠ (M is used as an abbreviation for 1,000,000 in writing an RF) whereas Mercator's original 1569 map has a width of 198 cm corresponding to a globe radius of 31.5 cm and an ...

  8. Preprophase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preprophase

    This preprophase band runs around the equatorial plane of the future mitotic spindle and marks the plane of cell division and future fusion site for the cell plate. It consists of microtubules and microfilaments and persists into prophase. Spindle formation occurs during prophase with the axis perpendicular to the plane surrounded by the ...

  9. World map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_map

    Early world maps cover depictions of the world from the Iron Age to the Age of Discovery and the emergence of modern geography during the early modern period.Old maps provide information about places that were known in past times, as well as the philosophical and cultural basis of the map, which were often much different from modern cartography.
