What did Flemming study?
The centrosome was discovered jointly by Walther Flemming in 1875 [1] [2] and Edouard Van Beneden in 1876. [3] [4] Flemming investigated the process of cell division and the distribution of chromosomes to the daughter nuclei, a process he called mitosis from the Greek word for thread.

Apr 17, 2024 · Walther Flemming was a German anatomist and a founder of the science of cytogenetics (the study of the cell’s hereditary material, the chromosomes). He was the first to observe and describe systematically the behaviour of chromosomes in the cell nucleus during normal cell division (mitosis).

Flemming was the first to detail the chromosomal movements in the process of mitosis. In 1879, Flemming used aniline dyes, a by-product of coal tar, to stain cells of salamander embryos. He was able to visualize the threadlike material as the cells divide.

Apr 22, 2013 · Walter Flemming described chromosome behavior during animal cell division. Flemming was one of the first cytologists and the first to detail how chromosomes move during mitosis, or cell division. Dividing cells had been observed almost forty years earlier by Carl Nageli, but he misinterpreted evidence of mitosis as something abnormal in the ...
German anatomist (1843-1905) who first observed and identified the stages of mitosis. Using new synthetic dyes, Flemming found material, which he named chromatin, within the cell nucleus. Observing the chromatin at different phases, he traced the process of cell division, calling it mitosis.
