The Aster includes 600 species of star shaped flowering plants. The name is Greek, meaning "star". Most of the species are found in gardens because of their showy flowers and petals. The Aster is unique for its delicate purple color suggesting a manner in which these core aspects of the Self are brought to a very high spiritual level of expression. The Aster can also be found in a variety of other colors including blue and white.

The Aster is known for its well defined physical structure and strong integrative features. Because of this it is thought that the Aster has qualities of strength, immunity and integration. Depending on the exact species, Asters begin growing in the summer and continue growing through the fall.

In order to multiply and continue to grow well, Asters should be transplanted and divided at the room every other year. It is best to do this in early spring, keeping the root wet the day before and after dividing it. Doing this will rejuvenate the plant, help with size control and also give you more of them to add to the garden. Aster's grow best in rich wet soil, and can be grown either in direct sunlight or in the shade.

What stage of mitosis are the centrioles and asters visible?

The centrioles and asters are visible in the mid-prophase stage of mitosis.


What phase is asters are formed?

Asters are formed during the prophase of mitosis in animal cells. They are structures made up of microtubules that radiate from the centrosomes, which help in the organization and separation of chromosomes during cell division. The formation of asters is crucial for the proper alignment and segregation of chromosomes to ensure accurate cell division.


Are Asters absent in plant cell mitosis or animal cell mitosis?

Asters are present in animal cell mitosis but absent in plant cell mitosis. In animal cells, asters are formed by the centrosomes during the organization of the mitotic spindle, helping to anchor the spindle fibers. In contrast, plant cells lack centrosomes and instead form a spindle apparatus without the formation of asters, relying on microtubules that emanate from the nuclear envelope and other structures.


What is the major function of asters of centrosome in a cell?

The major function of asters in the centrosome is to help organize and control the movement of microtubules during cell division. They are essential for proper spindle formation and chromosome segregation during mitosis. Asters also play a role in positioning the centrosome within the cell.


What is the adaptations for temperate grassland?

buffalo grass, ryegrass, foxtail, wild oats, and purple needlegrass. There are also many types of wildflowers that grow in temperate grasslands, such as wild indigos, clovers, sunflowers, goldenrods, blazing stars, and asters.
