    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organisms_by...

    The list of organisms by chromosome count describes ploidy or numbers of chromosomes in the cells of various plants, animals, protists, and other living organisms.This number, along with the visual appearance of the chromosome, is known as the karyotype, [1] [2] [3] and can be found by looking at the chromosomes through a microscope.

    Mitosis in the animal cell cycle (phases ordered counter-clockwise). Mitosis divides the chromosomes in a cell nucleus. Label-free live cell imaging of mesenchymal stem cells undergoing mitosis Onion cells in different phases of the cell cycle enlarged 800 diameters. a. non-dividing cells b. nuclei preparing for division (spireme-stage)

    Many details must be discussed between the artist and scientist before a final drawing can be completed, and additional preliminary drawings must be prepared in order to work out aesthetic details. Pen and ink (often a flex nib fountain pen) line illustrations are clean, crisp, clear, and inexpensive to produce, making them ideal for biological ...

  5. Karyotype - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyotype

    Differences in basic number of chromosomes. These differences could have resulted from successive unequal translocations which removed all the essential genetic material from a chromosome, permitting its loss without penalty to the organism (the dislocation hypothesis) or through fusion. Humans have one pair fewer chromosomes than the great apes.

    S phase: the cell replicates each of the 46 chromosomes. G2 phase: in preparation for cell division, new organelles and proteins form. M phase: cytokinesis occurs, resulting in two identical daughter cells. G0 phase: the two cells enter a resting stage where they do their job without actively preparing to divide. [32]

    In animals, the plasma membrane is the outer boundary of the cell, while in plants and prokaryotes it is usually covered by a cell wall. This membrane serves to separate and protect a cell from its surrounding environment and is made mostly from a double layer of phospholipids , which are amphiphilic (partly hydrophobic and partly hydrophilic ).

  9. Telophase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telophase

    Fluorescence micrograph of a human cell in telophase showing chromosomes (DNA) in blue, microtubules in green and kinetochores in pink. Telophase (from Ancient Greek τέλος 'end, result, completion' and φάσις (phásis) 'appearance') is the final stage in both meiosis and mitosis in a eukaryotic cell.
