The G1, S and G2phases are collectively termed interphase. The rest of the cell cycle is concerned with cell division – mitosis in somatic cells, meiosis in the specialized cells of gonads. The stages of mitosis and meiosis are collectively called the M phase, potentially introducing confusion...
dephosphorylated protein. Anaphase will not commence until all the MAD2 proteins have been lost from the kinetochores. It appears that the loss of the MAD2 protein acts as a “proceed to anaphase” signal that prevents errors in attachment from occurring during mitosis and meiosis (Nicklas et ...
Metaphase, in mitosis and meiosis, the stage of cell division characterized by the alignment of the chromosomes along the midline of the cell. Metaphase is preceded by prophase and is followed by anaphase. The mitotic spindle, which is widest at the midd
Prometaphase I refers to the first meiotic division or meiosis I. Recombination between homologous chromosomes occurs at this stage. From:Trends in Parasitology,2014 Also in subject areas: Agricultural and Biological Sciences Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology ...

b. meiosis I c. prophase I d. metaphase I Recombination: Recombination is the process of exchanging genes by crossing over between the homologous chromosomes. Recombination is the basis of variations or small genetic mutations. Answer and Explan...
On the other hand, chromosomes that are smaller than a certain size limit (typically <1% of the genome) frequently do not segregate correctly during meiosis, even if an original centromere is present [4,5]. We do not yet know whether lack of crossover or of ‘lateral support’ for the ...
Chromosomes are organelles for packing an immense length of DNA into a form sufficiently compact to be handled by the cell, particularly at cell division (mitosis and meiosis). Each human nucleus contains ∼2 m of DNA, and this is reduced to a length of ∼200 μm or less in the cond...
