Duringmeiosis, cells are produced that have a reduced number of chromosomes (the haploid or n number). This reduction means that when the germ cells (eggs and sperm) fuse, the diploid (2n) number of chromosomes is restored (Figure 3.4). If meiosis did not reduce the number of chromosomes...
Mitosis and Meiosis Part B 3Determining the Mitotic Index in Zebrafish Tissues Using an LSCM As noted,phototoxicitycaused byLSCMis not a concern when imaging fixed samples. Here LSCM provides excellent optical sectioning andhigh spatial resolution. We focus on the determination of themitotic indexin...

Functions of PtdIns, PtdIns kinases, and PtdIns phosphatases in mitosis and meiosis Prophase to metaphase During early mitosis, cells undergo dynamic changes in shape and organization to facilitate accurate division. As cells progress from prophase to metaphase, two interconnected processes, spindle orient...

Lastly, chromosome segregation errors during gamete formation in meiosis are a primary cause of human birth defects and infertility. This review describes the consequences of mitotic and meiotic errors focusing on novel concepts and human health. Keywords: aneuploidy; polyploidy; microtubule; chromosome ...
