When does mitosis begin? The term 'antephase' 6 has been used to describe the period in late G 2 phase, just before the first visible signs of chromosome condensation become evident, during which ...

which is essential for DNA condensation. We have also argued that unlinking of the sister chromosomes during DNA replication is aided by removal of pre-catenanes that are forming directly at or just ...

The high resolution of structured illumination microscopy and the strong signal due to chromosome condensation, allowed for the visualization of the three pairs of sister chromatids (Figure 1C ...

This process is essential for growth, development, and tissue repair. During mitosis, chromosomes condense, align at the cell's equator, and are separated by the mitotic spindle, ensuring that each ...
