The second stage of glycolysis is an isomerization reaction. In this reaction the glucose-6-phosphate is rearranged into fructose-6-phosphate by the enzyme glucose phosphate isomerase. This is a reversible reaction under normal conditions of the cell.
Kinetochore. A specialized condensed region of each chromosome that appears during mitosis where the chromatids are held together to form an X shape; the centromere is difficult to sequence. Please contribute to this project, if you have more information about this term feel free to edit this page.
A kinetochore microtubule, as its name suggests, is the type of microtubule that attaches to the kinetochores of the condensed chromosomes (this is the type that draws the chromosomes toward the centrosomes at the poles of the dividing cell). More >>. Spindle apparatus >>. Biology Dictionary >>. A polar microtubule does not attach to a chromosome. Instead, they emanate from the two centrosomes and overlap with each other in the center of the cell and, by sliding against each other, force the centrosomes toward the poles of the cell.
