What is Telophase? Telophase is the fifth phase of mitosis and the final phase of meiosis as well. In meiosis, there are two phases: telophase I and telophase II. This … Read more
Anaphase Definition This is the phase that separates duplicate genetic materials that are carried in the nucleus of the parent cell, into the two identical daughter cells. In the previous … Read more
Metaphase Definition Metaphase is a stage of the cell cycle occurring in both mitosis and meiosis cell division processes. During metaphase in mitosis and meiosis, the chromosomes condense and they … Read more
Prophase Definition Prophase is the phase that follows the interphase and typically the first and longest phase in the cell cycle, for both mitosis and meiosis. It is the phase … Read more
Cells continuously undergo cell division through which daughters cells arise which mature and also produce their own daughter cells and the cycle continues. The events of the cell cycle involve … Read more
Plant cells are multicellular eukaryotic cells that make up a plant (a group of eukaryotes belonging to the Plantae kingdom, with the ability to synthesis their own food using water, … Read more
Antibodies are protein molecules naturally produced or synthesized by the B-lymphocytes. They are also known as Immunoglobulins. The use of the term antibody defines an Immunoglobulin molecule that has specificity … Read more
