ABSTRACT: This paper provides a mid-level description of cell
division and duplication. The focus is on the roles by the chromosomes,
centrosomes, microtubules and the kinetochores. The emphasis is on the
mechanical activity and the resulting physical developments. The paper also
provides, in its discussion, the harmful effects occurring when duplication
procedures go awry. This often leads to unwanted duplication and possibly
cancer.
