metaphases in English

noun
1
the second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase, during which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
The events in this stage of the cell cycle leading to cell division are prophase, metaphase , anaphase and telophase.

Use "metaphases" in a sentence

Below are sample sentences containing the word "metaphases" from the English Dictionary. We can refer to these sentence patterns for sentences in case of finding sample sentences with the word "metaphases", or refer to the context using the word "metaphases" in the English Dictionary.

1. Aneuploid metaphases were mainly of the hypodiploid and hyperdiploid range.

2. Both substances induce mitotic aberrations, e.g., pyknotic metaphases, lagging chromosomes during anaphase, and multipolar mitotic figures.

3. The Chromosomal changes observed (Figure 3) were mainly colchicine, disorganized metaphases, multipolar Anaphases and with loss of chromosomes

4. Combining both modalities led to additive values at all time points for the percentage of aberrant metaphases.

5. At least 50 well-spread metaphases with the complete number of centromeres are analyzed per animal for structural chromosomal aberrations.

6. Supraoesophageal ganglion metaphases of Chironomus tentans larvae exhibit seven apparent metacentric chromosomes instead of the six metacentrics and two acrocentrics expected (n = 4).

7. The material did not show many Androgone nuclei in division; anaphases were present, but metaphases, where centrosomes are usually most conspicuous if present at all, were not found

8. In an infant with multiple malformations (hydrocephalus internus, anal atresia, aganglionic segment of the colon, low set, dysplastic ears, mongoloid slant of the eyes, and furrowed tongue) the chromosome analysis of 100 metaphases revealed an enlarged secondary constriction of the C9 chromosome in 25%.

9. The high portion of metaphases with aberrations of chromosomes is especially noted. Among the aberrations of chromosomes breaks of chromosomes and chromatids were especially frequent. Rarefactions, achromasia and entspiralisation were not so frequent. There were still less acentric fragments and dicentric chromosomes.

10. Chromosome analyses and autoradiographs for labeling of late-replicating X-chromosomes were performed in cultures of breast cancer cells. 150 aneuploid metaphases were studied. In these, the number of C-chromosomes in cells with a near diploid karyotype were diminished as compared with the average aberration frequency of all chromosomes.
