Mitosis ends with telophase, or the stage at which the chromosomes reach the poles. The nuclear membrane then reforms, and the chromosomes begin to decondense into their interphase conformations.

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.

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

What function is served by destroying different cyclins at different stages of mitosis? An appealing model is that each class of cyclin is responsible for driving the phosphorylation of a subset ...

This activity and guide has been thoughtfully designed to help you fully understand exactly what's happening at every stage of mitosis. Mitosis will produce two daughter cells which are ...
