Xkid chromokinesin is required for chromosome alignment on the metaphase plate of spindles formed in Xenopus laevis egg extracts. We have investigated the role of Xkid in Xenopus oocyte meiotic ...

A CRISPR mutant series in rice reveals that three redundant CDC20 proteins control the metaphase-to-anaphase transition in ...

When producing our germ cells—egg and sperm—a special feature is required in the cell division process: Since male and female germ cells fuse during fertilization, the chromosome set of our genetic ...

To create eggs and sperm, cells must rewire the process of cell division. Mitosis, the common type of cell division that human bodies use to grow everything from organs to fingernails and to replace ...

The development of a new organism from the joining of two single cells is a carefully orchestrated endeavor. But even before sperm meets egg, an equally elaborate set of choreographed steps must occur ...

Embark on an exciting journey to uncover the wonders of cell division as we explore mitosis and meiosis. In this captivating explanation, we'll delve into how cells divide and pass on genetic ...

In the process of replicating themselves, cells have another choice: do they want to make an identical copy and be left with two cells? Or do they want to make four “half-copies”, in preparation for ...
