Example Sentences

In parasynchronous division, mitosis is initiated in one location and then a wave of mitoses travels backwards down the hypha so that nuclei divide sequentially, almost as dominos fall in a line. In asynchronous division, neclei divide independently of neighbours, so the spatial and temporal pattern of mitosis is randomised."
