How does Head To Head Telomere Fusion express itself?

... DNA into chromosomes begins. I don't know what proteins are found to help support a fusing of chromosomes, and then to hold them together during metaphase. It would have to be an intricate orchestrated process that would unfold into a viable offspring. (Though telomeres do have unique proteins ...

chromosome 2 replication.

you are actually correct that there would be a problem with having two centromeres though: in metaphase a microtubule from one pole could attach to one centromere and a microtubule from the other pole would attach to the other centromere, so during anaphase in this scenario ...

Cancer and Cell cycle - cyclins/cdk/mutated genes?

General questions about how cancer affects the cell cycle... 1) Does cancer actually speed up the individual phases of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) ... ie metaphase occurs 100x sooner following prophase in a cancer cell compared to a normal cell? or does cancer just increase ...

Questions about Biology's term

... material as a whole inclusive of other proteins. Chromatid: Is a copy of a chromosome present after DNA and chromosome replication. So during metaphase the two halves of a copied chromosome are both chromatids. At anaphase these separate and become two new chromosomes. Bivalent: A chromosome ...

Re: Meiosis = extreme confusion. Please help!

... each chromosome still consists of 2 chromatids (still in that X shape). In meiosis 2, the haploid daughter cells' chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate and then split into individual chromatids, that is, each chromosome in the resulting 4 gametes after meiosis 2 have 23 chromosomes, ...
