  2. 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 ...

  3. Metaphase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphase

    Metaphase (from Ancient Greek μετα- 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 at their most condensed in anaphase). [1]

    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.

  6. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    In the mitotic metaphase (see below), typically the chromosomes (each containing 2 sister chromatids that developed during replication in the S phase of interphase) align themselves on the metaphase plate. Then, the sister chromatids split and are distributed between two daughter cells. [citation needed]

  7. 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 ...

    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.
