This process is the shortest part of the cell cycle and is followed by cytokinesis.
Aurora kinases are active during this process. Cdc20 and Cdh1 regulate this process by activating APC/C to degrade securin. Tim Hunt discovered proteins that sinusoidally oscillate in concentration in sea urchins during this process. In plants, at the end of this process, the phragmoplast develops into the (*) cell plate. p53 prevents entry into this pathway if DNA is damaged. Checkpoints in this process assure that spindles are properly attached to kinetochores. This process is the shortest part of the cell cycle and is followed by cytokinesis. For 10 points, name this process which includes steps like prophase and anaphase, during which a cell duplicates itself.
Aurora kinases are active during this process. Cdc20 and Cdh1 regulate this process by activating APC/C to degrade securin.
