    The document summarizes the process of mitosis and the cell cycle. It explains that mitosis is the process where eukaryotic cells duplicate their DNA and divide into two identical daughter cells. The cell cycle consists of interphase, where the cell grows and duplicates its DNA, and M phase, where mitosis and cytokinesis occur to split the cell into two. Mitosis itself is divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, where the chromosomes align and separate before the cell divides.

    Mitosis Notes

    Mitosis
     Remember that mitosis is
    the name of the cell division
    that eukaryotic cells go
    through to create a new cell.
     Mitosis is all about the
    division of the nucleus and
    there are names for each
    step that you will need to
    learn.
    Cell Division

     Mitosis- process of
    making new
    somatic (nonsex)
    cells like skin cells
    (clones)
    Cell Cycle
     The Cell Cycle –
    a repeating set of
    events that make
    up the life of a
    cell.
     Mitosis is actually
    a name of one of
    the cell cycle
    steps usually
    referred to as the
    M phase.
    Cell Cycle
     But most people call
    the whole process
    Mitosis instead of
    the cell cycle,
    because it is a very
    important step.
    Cell Division
     Where do new cells
    come from?
     All cells came from
    preexisting cells.
    Steps of the Cell Cycle

     1. Interphase – the longest phase,


    80% of cells life is in this phase.
     Steps of Interphase:
     G1 phase – growth of cell
     G0 phase – inactive stage.
     S phase – DNA is replicated (“S”
    synthesis of DNA)
     G2 phase – growth of cell; prepares
    for cell division
    Steps of the Cell Cycle
     G0 phase – non dividing
    state after the G1 phase;
     This is the only time a cell can
    be stopped from dividing, and
    is why a cell spends the
    majority of its life in
    interphase.
     Some cells in the human body
    like spinal cord cells get stuck
    in the G0 phase and never
    divides again, which is why
    spinal cord injuries don’t heal.
    Cell Cycle
     2. Mitosis – division of the nucleus; a continuous
    process divided into 4 phases
     A. Prophase
     B. Metaphase
     C. Anaphase
     D. Telophase
    G1 phase

    M phase

    S phase

    G2 phase
    Mitosis
     The following is what
    happens during each phase
    of mitosis.

     A. Prophase
     Chromosomes appear
     The nucleus begins to break
    down
     Centrioles appear and
    produce spindle fibers
    Mitosis
     B. Metaphase
     Chromosomes align
    along the equator of the
    cell
     Spindles Fibers move
    chromosomes to the
    equator.
     Spindle Fibers are
    attached to the centrioles
    (at poles) and connect to
    the centromeres on
    chromosomes.
    Mitosis
     C. Anaphase
     Chromosomes are pulled
    to the pole by the
    contraction of the spindle
    fibers
     So, the sister chromatids
    are separated at the
    centromere
    Mitosis
     D. Telophase
     The chromosomes begin to form a new nucleus.
     A new cell membrane/wall begins to form so the two cells can
    separate
     If there is a cell wall what type of cell are we looking at?
    Cell Cycle
     3. Cytokinesis – division of the cytoplasm
     The chromosomes start to uncoil and become less dense
     You now have two new genetically identical cells.
     Cytokinesis actually happens during Telophase, so you would
    actually say Telophase/Cytokinesis.
    Telophase/Cytokenisis

     See cleavage in
    animal cells

     See Cell plate form


    in plant cells.
