A type of cell division, occurring in two phases, that reduces the number of chromosomes in reproductive cells to half the original number. It results in the production of reproductive cells (called gametes) in animals and the formation of spores in plants, fungi, and most algae. The first ...
Results Here we describe mitotic slippage in yeast bub2Δ mutant cells that are defective in the repression of precocious telophase onset (mitotic exit). Precocious activation of anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)-Cdh1 caused mitotic slippage in the presence of nocodazole, while the SAC ...
