  2. Telophase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telophase

    Telophase (from Ancient Greek τέλος 'end, result, completion' and φάσις (phásis) 'appearance') is the final stage in both meiosis and mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. During telophase, the effects of prophase and prometaphase (the nucleolus and nuclear membrane disintegrating) are reversed.

  3. Cell cycle checkpoint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle_checkpoint

    The G1 phase cyclin-dependent kinase works together with S phase cyclin-dependent kinase targeting p27 for degradation. In turn, this allows for full activation of Cyclin A:Cdk2, a complex which phosphorylates E2F 1-3 initiating their disassociation from the DNA promoter sites. This allows E2F 6–8 to bind to the DNA and inhibit transcription ...

  5. Maturation promoting factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maturation_promoting_factor

    [1] [2] It stimulates the mitotic and meiotic phases of the cell cycle. MPF promotes the entrance into mitosis (the M phase) from the G 2 phase by phosphorylating multiple proteins needed during mitosis. MPF is activated at the end of G 2 by a phosphatase, which removes an inhibitory phosphate group added earlier.

  6. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    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. Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells. [1] Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle in which the cell grows and replicates its chromosome(s) before dividing.

  7. Retrocausality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrocausality

    Retrocausality, or backwards causation, is a concept of cause and effect in which an effect precedes its cause in time and so a later event affects an earlier one. [1] [2] In quantum physics, the distinction between cause and effect is not made at the most fundamental level and so time-symmetric systems can be viewed as causal or retrocausal.

  8. Mitotic inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitotic_inhibitor

    Mitotic inhibitors are also used in cytogenetics (the study of chromosomes), where they stop cell division at a stage where chromosomes can be easily examined. [ 1 ] Mitotic inhibitors are derived from natural substances such as plant alkaloids , and prevent cells from undergoing mitosis by disrupting microtubule polymerization, thus preventing ...

  9. Cleavage furrow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_furrow

    Animal cells form an actin-myosin contractile ring within the equatorial region of the cell membrane that constricts to form the cleavage furrow. [1] In plant cells, Golgi vesicle secretions form a cell plate or septum on the equatorial plane of the cell wall by the action of microtubules of the phragmoplast . [ 2 ]
