how does metaphase done
is this really a stub? --Herzog 04:42, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think it is. Melchoir 08:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed. – ClockworkSoul 16:14, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- It needs references and expansion on metaphase during meiosis and during closed mitosis (spindle forms inside the nucleus). Another useful addition may be a section on metaphase "arrest" by microtubule-affecting drugs (e.g. colchicine and colcemid) and their uses in cell biology (e.g. cell cycle synchronization), cytogenetics (e.g. karyotyping) and beyond (e.g. chemotherapy and plant breeding). - tameeria 21:33, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
May be another picture would be better as the one displayed seems to be a prometaphase: there is a chromosome with an unaligned kinetochore close to the spindle pole at the bottom right of the picture. The one/ a similar used for the kinetochore page would be in my opinion better. May be also show what happens in yeast as it is quite differentWikivax0 21:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
