    Mitosis

    Mitosis is the process of cell division where a parent cell divides into two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. It occurs in somatic cells and consists of four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During interphase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated. In prophase, chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down. Chromosomes align in the center of the cell in metaphase. In anaphase, chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles. Telophase involves the formation of new nuclear envelopes and separation of the daughter cells through cytokinesis.

    MITOSIS

    Interphase—period of cell growth and development


    • DNA replication (copying) occurs during Interphase
    • During Interphase the cell also grows, carries out normal cell
    activities, replicates all other organelles
    • The cell spends most of its life cycle in Interphase
    MITOSIS
    Mitosis is cell division which
    begins in the fertilized egg (or
    zygote) stage and continues
    during the life of the organism in
    one way or another. Each diploid
    (2n) daughter cell is genetically
    identical to the diploid (2n)
    parent cell.
    Mitosis occurs in all the somatic (body) cells. Why does
    mitosis occur?
    PMAT

    Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase


    (Middle) (Apart) (Two)
    PROPHASE

    Chromosomes coil up

    Nuclear envelope disappears

    Spindle fibers form


    METAPHASE-(MIDDLE)

    Chromosomes line up in middle of cell

    Spindle fibers connect to


    chromosomes
    ANAPHASE-(APART)

    Chromosome copies divide

    Spindle fibers pull


    chromosomes to opposite
    poles
    TELOPHASE-(TWO)
    Chromosomes uncoil

    Nuclear envelopes form

    2 new nuclei are formed

    Spindle fibers disappear


    CYTOKENESIS
    Cytokinesis — the division of the rest of the cell (cytoplasm and
    organelles) after the nucleus divides.
