American Journal of Botany, Vol. 39, No. 9 (Nov., 1952), pp. 619-625 (7 pages) Non-centromeric movement of chromosomes towards the poles is observed in meiotic anaphase of Bromus pitensis x B.

Download the latest edition Their analysis showed that the molecular density surrounding chromosomes increased with the progression from the prophase to anaphase stages of mitosis, concurring with ...

The amount of smoke in just one or two puffs of a cigarette can cause breaks in DNA and defects to a cell's chromosomes, leading to irreversible changes in genetic information being passed to a ...

As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase), chromosomes become progressively more compact through a combination of ...

(A) Histone staining images and OI-DIC density imaging of human living cells in the interphase (the phase between cell divisions, left) and mitotic phase (right). The bottom two rows are OI-DIC ...

Frequent fliers, take note. Scientists have figured out how cells quickly pack long chromosomes into compact, organized bundles — a key step before cells divide. The new finding unifies two competing ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...
