Mitotic cell division. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a cell during the metaphase stage of mitosis (cell division). The structure at centre is the microtubule spindle,a strucure formed from the microtubules (red) of the cell's cytoskeleton. During the metaphase stage,the chromosomes (which contain the cell's DNA,its genetic material) form a line (metaphase plate,dark red) on the microtubule spindle. In the next stage,the spindles drag the chromosomes apart,forming two identical sets. Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells | |
