Telophase: Have students compare the progression through the cell cycle up to this point. Have them identify patterns in how the cytoskeleton is enabling each step. Now is a good time to revisit the ...

The most obvious difference between interphase and mitosis involves the appearance of a cell's chromosomes ... only be partially appreciated in still images. Prometaphase begins with the abrupt ...

Interphase The cell spends most of its life in this phase. The DNA in chromosomes copies itself ready for mitosis. Prophase The DNA in chromosomes and their copies condenses to become more visible.

The Drosophila melanogaster Numb protein is uniformly distributed on the cortex and in the cytoplasm of neural precursor cells in interphase, but shows a polarized localization during mitosis.
