What is Mitosis?
Form of Asexual Reproduction
Nucleus divides to form two nuclei
These nuclei will eventually form two
identical daughter cells
Why mitosis?
1)Growth-Human organs grow by
mitosis.
2)Repair/Replacement- If you get a cut
the wound is healed by mitosis of your
skin cells.
3)Reproduction- Bacteria reproduce
using mitosis
All cells go through mitosis besides sex
cells
I-Interphase
Pre-Mitosis
Chromosomes copied inside nucleus
Each chromosome now has a sister
chromosome

1
st
Step
Cell begins to divide
Centrioles are formed and start to move
to opposite ends of the cell
Between poles Spindle Fibers form

nd
Step
Chromatids(pair of chromosomes) begin
to attach to the spindle fibers in the
middle of the cell

Step
Chromatids begin to separate and move
to opposite sides of the cell

The-Telophase
Two new nuclei form in the cell and the
cells begin breaking apart

Post Mitosis
Cell membrane splits creating two
identical daughter cells each with their
own nucleus composed of identical
chromosomes
