Cell division, the basic means by which genetic information is passed from generation to generation, involves tightly coordinated movements of a cell's DNA. This page describes the major phases of ...

Have students evaluate and critique different ideas to reach a consensus explanation. Telophase: Have students compare the progression through the cell cycle up to this point. Have them identify ...

As in telophase I, the cytoplasm of the cell will be concentrated in one of the two emerging cells. The resulting large cell will become an egg cell. The smaller cell will degenerate.

Telophase New membranes form around the chromosomes at each end of the cell. Cytokinesis The cell membrane pinches in and eventually divides into two daughter cells.

This activity maintains the spacing between separated centrosomes during prometaphase and metaphase, and repositions centrosomes and daughter nuclei during late anaphase and telophase ...
