Cytokinesis is part of cell division, but it's distinctively not part of mitosis.
Eta: Cytokinesis takes place during the M phase simultaneously with PMAT, but is a separate part of the cellular process.
yeah the drawing was done by an artist who learned about mitosis on the same day that they did the drawing ...
Fair enough, I appreciate them finding a way to make the subject more fun
I appreciate it too
Based on the hair clips in the last step, wouldn’t this actually be an illustration of meiosis?
yeah you're right the hairpins are not very accurate ... the drawing was done by an artist who learned about mitosis on the same day that they did the drawing ... so don't expect too much accuracy here :D
So does the mother cell no longer exist, or is she her own daughters and still totally the same amoeba lady, just twice?
We always love when woman turns into women.
This better not awaken anything in me
Narrator: It will.
Stupid sexy mitochondria
Beautiful, but the hair things, esp. 3 and 5, dont line up with what I remember from bio
ew, this is weird
upvoted
ew, a woman? on the internet? weird (/s)
god forbid a girl have some fun on the internet (smh)
i'll allow it but try not to get progesterone on everything
spills bottle
what did you say?
I feel like this makes everything more confusing. You cannot really follow the hair pins through time because the person takes them out of their hair at one time and the alignment isn't in the hair. And step 4 confuses what it says (the sister chromatides almost divided) with what it actually shows (the cells almost divided).
The hair clips are a nice detail.
You can't do this and not say cleavage. C'mon!
They're minerals, Marie!
...what? I think you might commented on the wrong post
The pinching of the cytoplasm when it starts to split in mitosis is known as cleavage.
I think you might have failed biology class :-|
easy there, honest mistake
Dang, it's been too long. I shoulda figured out the joke, but the memory was recessive.
Is it gay if it's cytokinesis?
history will say they were roommates
... and that's how a slime girl is 'born'.
you just insulted my entire race!
... but also, yes
Dub ist eine ... schleimfrau?
Ein ... ... glibberwesen?
... And that's the extent of my German.
I will now return to 'Gorlami'.
sometimes i feel like it, but not currently actually.
Hah!
Are... was I even close to how you'd say 'slime girl' in... what my ancestors call 'Pennsylvania Dutch'?
('Deutsch', eh too hard to spell, lets go with 'Dutch', to mean German. ... yeah.)
Slime-woman?
Goop-person/being?
you were surprisingly accurate even
Dub ist
It's "Du bist" though - you are
Ah, whoops!
An actual rookie mistake, hahaha!
no, a rookie mistake would be to move diagonally when you can only move straight
Hrm.
I think I'll try spinning, thats a good trick!
fun fact: when a rook spins, it's still in the same configuration afterwards, no matter what angle it spins by. This is because rooks fulfill the S(2π) supersymmetry and when you rotate them, it's still the same state. This is why rooks don't lose any energy when they spin around! In fact many say they have their round shape due to being molded while spinning, similar to a potter's wheel. Anyways that gains them their special power which is they can store large amounts of magnetic energy in the field due to circular currents flowing inside them without actually experiencing any resistance. They can then use that magnetic field to power something similar to a magnetic coil gun similar to how a medieval fortress might have shot arrows down from the tower, which gives them their long range and makes them so scary.
(I have no idea what i'm talking about.)
And yet I actually follow what you are saying, silly it may be, it is... theoretically, technically sound.
So for spinning rooks, (especially when accelerated to rotational velocities experienced in a coil gun), to avoid the gimbal lock problem, you can use quaternions to represent their actual orientation, which... more or less, is complexifying their 3D orientation vector into being a 4D object, manipulating it in 4 space, and then solving or reducing the 4D object back to its 3D shadow/original self, to know its 3 space orientation.
This is particularly helpful when playing any kind of chess that involves more than 2 dimensions, as well as keeping track of long distance ballistic deviation due to projectile wobble, and/or a ballistic trajectory through different ambient pressure/resistance/drag-inducing gradients.
Love the Junji Ito reference
That's adorable
So sad that Abbey & Brittany are stuck at stage 4.
