Mitosis is a form of cell division where the result is two daughter cells that are identical to the original cell. There are four primary phases to mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.Answer and Explanation: Onion root tips are commonly used to study mitosis. They are sites...
On average, what percentage of the cells in an onion root tip is in each of the different phases of the cell cycle? Why does chromatin get condensed during the prophase stage of cell division? What is the type of cell division that occur in the apical meris...
Thus, factors stimulating cell growth and division produce an increase of the rate of ribosome biogenesis; moreover, this rate is regulated during the cell cycle, in which it increases from G1 to G2 and is stopped during mitosis, accompanied by the disassembly of the nucleolus (Medina et al...
