  2. Gametogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gametogenesis

    Premeiotic, post meiotic, pre mitotic, or postmitotic events are all possibilities if imprints are created during male and female gametogenesis. However, if only one of the daughter cells receives parental imprints following mitosis, this would result in two functionally different female gametes or two functionally different sperm cells.

  3. G1 phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G1_phase

    After R and before S, the cell is known as being in G 1-ps, or the pre S phase interval of the G 1 phase. [ 4 ] In order for the cell to continue through the G 1 -pm, there must be a high amount of growth factors and a steady rate of protein synthesis, otherwise the cell will move into G 0 phase.

  4. Genomic imprinting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genomic_imprinting

    The result however has been challenged by others who claimed that this is an overestimation by an order of magnitude due to flawed statistical analysis. [ 33 ] [ 34 ] In domesticated livestock, single-nucleotide polymorphisms in imprinted genes influencing foetal growth and development have been shown to be associated with economically ...

  5. Cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle

    The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G 1 phase, S phase (synthesis), G 2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis). M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes: mitosis, in which the cell's nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, in which the cell's cytoplasm and cell membrane divides forming two daughter cells.

  6. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    Anaphase is a very short stage of the cell cycle and it occurs after the chromosomes align at the mitotic plate. Kinetochores emit anaphase-inhibition signals until their attachment to the mitotic spindle. Once the final chromosome is properly aligned and attached the final signal dissipates and triggers the abrupt shift to anaphase. [26]

  7. G2 phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G2_phase

    Though Wee1 is a fairly conserved negative regulator of mitotic entry, no general mechanism of cell size control in G2 has yet been elucidated. Biochemically, the end of G 2 phase occurs when a threshold level of active cyclin B1 / CDK1 complex, also known as Maturation promoting factor (MPF) has been reached. [ 4 ]

  8. Cell cycle checkpoint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle_checkpoint

    During this time, necessary mitotic proteins are produced and the cell is once more subjected to regulatory mechanisms to ensure proper status for entry into the proliferative Mitotic (M) phase. Multiple mechanistic checkpoints are involved in this transition from G2 to M, with a common uniting factor of cyclin-Cdk activity.

  9. Proliferative index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proliferative_index

    Mitotic indexing is the oldest method of assessing proliferation and is determined by counting the number of mitotic figures (cells undergoing mitosis) through a light microscope on H&E stained sections. It is usually expressed as the number of cells per microscopic field.
