MITOSIS

MITOSIS
What is it?
Is when the nucleus and its content divides.
Cytokinesis
The cytoplasm and it’s content divides. In
cytokinesis, the cytoplasm divides and
forms two new daughter cells.
Daughter Cells
Are two new cells that result from Mitosis
and Cytokinesis.

MITOSIS
During mitosis, the contents of
the nucleus divide, forming two
identical nuclei. The sister
chromatids of the duplicated
chromosomes separate from
each other. This gives each
daughter cell the same genetic
information.

MITOSIS
During mitosis, the chromosomes, which
have already duplicated, condense and
attach to spindle fibers that pull one copy
of each chromosome to opposite sides of
the cell. The result is two genetically
identical daughter nuclei. The cell may
then divide by cytokinesis to produce two
daughter cells.

MITOSIS
The first phase of mitosis is
the prophase, they copied DNA
condenses into chromosomes,
the nucleolus disappears, and
the nuclear membrane breaks
down and the spindle begins
to form.

MITOSIS
The second phase of mitosis is metaphase,
metaphase is when Chromosomes line up in
single file at the middle of the cell. The third
phase of mitosis is Anaphase, anaphase is
when sister chromatids separate and the cell
begins to lengthen. And the Fourth phase of
mitosis is Telophase is when a nuclear
membrane forms around the chromatin,
chromosomes begin to unwind and two
identical nuclei forms.

MITOSIS
Mitosis plays an important part in
the life cycle of most living things.
Mitosis is a type of asexual
reproduction, making identical
copies of a single cell. In
multicellular organisms, mitosis
produces more cells for growth and
repair.
