Uncontrolled Cell Division & Cancer Cancers demonstrate how important it is that cell division is precisely controlled, as cancers arise due to uncontrolled mitosis Cancerous cells divid...
Maths Skill: Mitotic Index The mitotic index is the proportion of cells (in a group of cells or a sample of tissue) that are undergoing mitosis The mitotic index can be calculated using the ...
Recognising the Stages of Mitosis from Images Cells undergoing different stages of the cell cycle can be identified using photomicrographs taken from microscope slides Cells undergoing certa...
Cytokinesis Cytokinesis Although not regarded as a phase of mitosis, cytokinesis is an important final step in the cell cycle because during this stage the cytoplasm is divides forming two g...
Mitosis: The Stages Mitosis is the process of nuclear division by which two genetically identical daughter nuclei are produced that are also genetically identical to the parent cell nucleus ...
The Importance of Mitosis Mitosis is the process of nuclear division by which two genetically identical daughter nuclei are produced that are also genetically identical to the parent nucleus...
Appreciating the Process of Distinguishing Organelles When looking at a prepared sample (e.g. a cell or a group of cells) under a microscope, you can sometimes see things that aren’t actuall...
Cell Fractionation & Ultracentrifugation Biologists and other scientific researchers may sometimes want to study one specific organelle This may be to: Look at the appearance of the spec...
Magnification Calculations Magnification is how many times bigger the image of a specimen observed is in comparison to the actual (real-life) size of the specimen The magnification (M) of an...
