The synthesis of DNA occurring in the S phase of the cell cycle can be measured by labeled DNA precursor incorporation. Although there are radiometric methods using tritiated thymidine, bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), a halogenated thymidine analogue, is more commonly used for direct estimation of DNA synt...
is equally divided between the two new daughter cells. Each daughter cell is genetically identical, containing its own nucleus and a complete copy of the organism's DNA. The daughter cells now begin their own cellular process and may repeat the mitosis process themselves depending on what they b...
Mitosis is a process that occurs during thecell cycle.The role of mitosis in the cell cycle is to replicate the genetic material in an existing cell—known as the “parent cell”—and distribute that genetic material to two new cells, known as “daughter cells.”In order to pass its genet...
cell receives precisely half. Although great progress has been made in describing this process and identifying the component parts, much more remains to be figured out. One approach is to reconstitute various aspects of chromosome motion and spindle formationin vitroto learn about the mechanisms that...
whereas I can talk without any scruples about the time when I was a unicellular organism, that is I can talk about it objectively as the saying goes, because it's all water under the bridge now, and it's a feat on my part even to remember it, and yet what I do remember is still...
Cell - Mitosis, Cytokinesis, Prokaryotes: In unicellular organisms, cell division is the means of reproduction; in multicellular organisms, it is the means of tissue growth and maintenance. Survival of the eukaryotes depends upon interactions between man
