Chromosomes Alignment in a Dividing Cell
Mitosis (the process of chromosomes alignment in a dividing cell) has been studied for over half a century now but exactly how it worked has been a mystery. Now researchers at Cheeseman’s lab have solved the mystery. They found that it is done by way of protein microtubules that come from two spindle poles on opposite sides of the cell that laterally latch onto and separate the copied chromosomes.
