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.
In psychology and ethology, imprinting is any kind of phase-sensitive learning (learning occurring at a particular age or a particular life stage) that is rapid and apparently independent of the consequences of behaviour. It was first used to describe situations in which an animal or person learns the characteristics of some stimulus, which is ...
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 ]
Between the beginning of the G 1 phase (which is also after mitosis has occurred) and R, the cell is known as being in the G 1-pm subphase, or the post-mitotic 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 psychology, limbic imprint refers to the process by which prenatal, perinatal and post-natal experiences imprint upon the limbic system, causing lifelong effects. [1] The term is used to explain how early care of a fetus and newborn is important to lifelong psychological development and has been used as an argument for alternative birthing methods, [2] and against circumcision.

At the end of G2, the cell transitions into mitosis, where the nucleus divides. The G2 to M transition is dramatic; there is an all-or-nothing effect, and the transition is irreversible. This is advantageous to the cell because entering mitosis is a critical step in the life cycle of a cell.
Pre-treating cells in a hypotonic solution, which swells them and spreads the chromosomes; Arresting mitosis in metaphase by a solution of colchicine; Squashing the preparation on the slide forcing the chromosomes into a single plane; Cutting up a photomicrograph and arranging the result into an indisputable karyogram.
The breaking of the mitotic spindle, common to the completion of mitosis in all eukaryotes, is the event most often used to define the anaphase-B to telophase transition, [2] [6] although the initiation of nuclear reassembly tends to precede that of spindle disassembly. [11]
