Cancer is the pathological condition in which the cells loose control over cell division and this results into malformation of the organ in which such cell division occurs.
Meiotic arrest at diplotene stage commonly occurs in mammalian occytes. In females, meiosis starts in the embryo and proceeds as for as diplotene, when the chromosomes become diffused and the cells are referred to as being in the dictuate stage. This arrest is under hormonal control.
In many amphibian oocytes binds and insects with a long period of immaturity, the oocyte may be arrested in the dictyate stage for many years and spend a prolonged period in diplotene.
This stage is characterised by formation of lampbrush chromosomes where intense RNA synthesis occurs and most of the genes in the DNA loops are actively transcribed and expressed.
Difference between cytokinesis in plant cell and animal cell is as follows
Cytokinesis in Plant Cell | Cytokinesis in Animal Cell |
---|---|
The division of cytoplasm takes place by cell plate formation. | The division of cytoplasm takes place by cleavage. |
The cell plate formation starts at the centre of the cell and grow outward, toward the lateral walls. | Cleavage starts at the periphery and then moves inward, dividing the cell into two parts. |
