The Eukaryotic Cell Cycle: An Irreducibly Complex System
Any system that achieves a complex higher-level objective by means of various well-matched interacting components requires foresight to come about.
The Elegant Spindle Assembly Checkpoint
Without this exquisitely engineered system, the cell risks distributing an uneven number of chromosomes to the daughter cells.
Astounding: The Role of Motor Proteins in Cell Division
A crucial aspect of mitosis is the movement of chromosomes — initially the alignment of as paired sister chromatids during prometaphase and metaphase.
