Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a separate process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells. Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in ...

With meiosis in a female, there is only one dividing cell at this point. As in telophase I, the cytoplasm of the cell will be concentrated in one of the two emerging cells. The resulting large ...

Over the past decade, there have been scattered reports of mammalian cells’ own DNA being found in the cytoplasm, mainly in the context of disease and aging. While it is not unusual to find DNA from ...

In contrast, the DNA of prokaryotic cells is distributed loosely around the cytoplasm, along with the protein synthesis machinery. This closeness allows prokaryotic cells to rapidly respond to ...
