Anaphase ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes. Finally, during telophase, a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA ...

Telophase: Have students compare the progression through the cell cycle up to this point. Have them identify patterns in how the cytoskeleton is enabling each step. Now is a good time to revisit the ...

During interphase ... into their interphase conformations. Telophase is followed by cytokinesis, or the division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. The daughter cells that result from ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

Interphase The cell spends most of its life in this phase. The DNA in chromosomes copies itself ready for mitosis. Prophase The DNA in chromosomes and their copies condenses to become more visible.
