The subsequent breakdown of the nuclear envelope terminates prophase and initiates prometaphase, during which the chromosomes become attached to and positioned on the mitotic spindle as it forms.

The newer targets might not afford the opportunity to alter both the mitotic spindle and the cytoskeleton, although the potential for undiscovered roles outside mitosis remains. In further support ...

Same as in mitosis, except that the spindle fibers from each centriole attach to one chromosome of a matching chromosome pair. In other words, the fibers from one centriole attach to 23 ...

The spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes. The centrioles are now at opposite ends of the cell. As in mitosis prometaphase, fibers from both ends of the cells attach to each one of the four ...

It can be seen in the stages shown above that mitosis maintains the chromosome number or complement of a cell. Mitosis therefore maintains the chromosome complement and ensures that each daughter ...

Quantifying this variability is essential because it contains important information about underlying cellular mechanisms. Above, microtubules marked in cyan and chromosomes in magenta, along with the ...

In an article published in the journal PloS Computational Biology, the scientists focused on the length of the mitotic spindle, which forms to allow the migration of chromosomes during cell ...
