    Mitosis is the process by which a cell duplicates its DNA and divides into two identical daughter cells. It occurs in four main phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. During prophase, the DNA condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear envelope dissolves. In metaphase, the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell. In anaphase, the chromosomes separate and move to opposite sides of the cell. Finally, in telophase, the nuclear envelope reforms and the cell divides into two identical daughter cells with the same DNA as the original parent cell.

    Mitosis

    Cells in your body are constantly


    getting replaced
    Reasons why your body makes
    more cells:
    - To grow up
    - To replace old cells
    - To replace damaged cells

    Mitosis: Is when one cell splits up


    to become two cells
    Each cell must have a complete set
    of DNA

    DNA in your body is put in a packet


    called Chromatin.

    The first step of mitosis is to


    replicate your DNA

    PMAT

    Phase 1 - Prophase:
    The cell is getting ready for mitosis,
    to split.
    1) DNA is packed into
    chromosomes.
    2) Nuclear membrane and
    nucleolus disappear
    3) Centriole begin to create
    spindle fibers
    Phase 2 – Metaphase
    1) Centrioles are on opposite
    sides of the cell
    2) Chromosomes are in a straight
    line in the middle of the cell
    Phase 3 – Anaphase
    1) Spindle fibers are shortening
    2) Chromosomes are being split
    apart, with each one on either
    side.
    Phase 4 – Telophase
    1) Spindle fibers disappear
    2) Nuclear membrane and
    nucleolus appear.
    3) Chromosomes are unpacking
    into DNA
    Cell Division
    Animal Cell: The nuclear
    membrane pinches to make 2 new
    cells
    Plant Cell: A cell plate forms and
    splits the cell
