Fluorescent light micrograph of a cell during the metaphase stage of mitosis (nuclear division). Mitosis is the formation of two daughter nuclei from one parent nucleus. Fluorescent markers have been used to highlight DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, blue), cohesin (red) and kinetochores (green). Cohesin hold sister chromatids together. During metaphase the chromosomes align along the centre of the cell. In the next stage the sister chromatids of each chromosome are pulled to opposite poles by the mitotic spindle, which attach to the chromosomes via the kinetochores. | |
