The 38 pages that link to Mitosis, each with the reason it gives.

• ChromosomeRelated: Mitosis distributes chromosome copies to daughter cells.

• Asexual reproductionRelated: Many asexual organisms use mitosis to pass copied chromosomes into new cells.

• GametophyteRelated: The haploid gametophyte makes gametes through mitosis, not meiosis.

• Somatic mutationRelated: Descendants of a mutated cell can inherit the change through repeated mitoses.

• Alternation of generationsRelated: It lets each generation grow without changing its ploidy.

• DiploidRelated: Mitosis typically preserves a cell's diploid chromosome number.

• TubulinRelated: Tubulin builds the spindle microtubules that segregate chromosomes during mitosis.

• PaclitaxelRelated: Stabilized microtubules prevent the spindle from functioning normally during chromosome separation.

• BuddingRelated: Mitosis provides nuclei for growth in many multicellular buds and budding yeasts.

• Cleavage (embryology)Related: Cleavage relies on repeated mitoses to increase cell number without enlarging the embryo.

• CytokinesisRelated: Cytokinesis usually follows mitosis and separates the nuclei into daughter cells.

• Theodor BoveriRelated: Boveri examined how chromosome distribution during cell division affects the embryo’s cells.

• CytogeneticsRelated: Many chromosome preparations capture condensed chromosomes during mitosis.

• Epigenetic inheritanceRelated: Mitotic inheritance passes regulatory states from a parent cell to its daughter cells.

• Fungal life cycleRelated: Asexual fungal growth and spore production commonly rely on mitotic division.

• ZoosporeRelated: In many organisms, zoospore formation follows mitotic cell divisions.

• AscusRelated: An additional round often brings the ascus to eight nuclei and spores.

• Eukaryotic cellRelated: It distributes duplicated chromosomes during cell division.

• PloidyRelated: It generally preserves ploidy across ordinary cell divisions.

• YewRelated: Yew-derived paclitaxel disrupts this process by trapping microtubules in a stabilized state.

• ColchicineRelated: Microtubule disruption arrests dividing cells during chromosome separation.

• Somatic cellRelated: Somatic cells commonly divide through this nuclear-division process.

• Paul NurseRelated: Nurse’s work clarified how cells time entry into mitosis.

• Taxus brevifoliaRelated: Paclitaxel’s disruption of microtubule dynamics interferes with this process in cancer cells.

• VincristineRelated: Vincristine-induced microtubule disruption arrests cells during mitosis.

• DicyemidaRelated: Dicyemid development depends on cell divisions within its highly reduced body plan.

• Carl NägeliRelated: Nägeli studied cell division in plants, helping document how new cells arise.

• Chromosome abnormalityRelated: Errors during mitosis can create chromosome abnormalities in only some cells.

• DesmidialesRelated: Nuclear division precedes the partitioning of a desmid cell during vegetative growth.

• Giant cells (pathology)Related: Some tumor giant cells become multinucleated through abnormal nuclear division without cell separation.
