In all eukaryotes, a microtubule-based structure known as the spindle is responsible for accurate chromosome segregation during cell division. Spindle assembly and function require localized ...

Chromosome segregation occurs on a highly complex molecular machine called the mitotic spindle. The spindle is constituted by a large number of proteins; however, it is structurally and functionally ...

Every biology class learns about mitosis, which involves copying each of a cell's DNA-containing chromosomes, then separating them into two newly created cells. The act of chromosome separation is ...
