Peripheral Material or Matrix of Mitotic Chromosomes: Structure and Properties

  • Published:
Russian Journal of Developmental Biology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Peripheral chromosomal material carries a lot of protein components, enzymes, and factors into new nuclei and enables the recommencement of both the synthesis and assembly of ribosomes and the synthesis of messenger RNA. A mitotic chromosome transfers to a new nucleus not only genetic information as chromatin DNA but also essential components of the synthetic apparatus ready for activation of transcription in a new cell cycle. The chromosome during cell division omnia mea mecum porto.
