Examples of karyokinesis in the following topics:

  • The Mitotic Phase and the G0 Phase

    • The first portion of the mitotic phase is called karyokinesis or nuclear division.
    • Karyokinesis, also known as mitosis, is divided into a series of phases (prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) that result in the division of the cell nucleus .
    • Karyokinesis (or mitosis) is divided into five stages: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
  • Binary Fission

    • Prokaryotic cells, on the other hand, do not undergo karyokinesis and, therefore, have no need for a mitotic spindle.
