MITOSIS

Introduction: Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides
to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical
to itself. In the context of the cell cycle, mitosis is the part of the
division process in which the DNA of the cell's nucleus is split into two
equal sets of chromosomes.

Objectives:
1. To describe the stages of mitosis.
2. To differentiate karyokinesis and cytokinesis.
3. To explain homologous chromosomes.

Procedure: From the virtual lab, write the procedure/process how the activity was
done. Limit your procedures to 5 steps only.
1. First, you must click the link that has been sent to you by your biology teacher,
the link will lead you to a site called LabBench Activity.
2. In it you’ll see the cell cycle, try to understand the process that the cell undergo.
3. You’ll see the stages of cell division, try to understand it also.
4. When you’re done with the cell cycle you should click the “Next Concept” key and
you’ll proceed to the Homologous Chromosome and show you the different
stages of Mitosis.
5. The last part of the virtual lab is the video that show you the stages of mitosis
process.
Data: Present your data here. (From the virtual activity, record, take a picture or draw
the data that you’ve seen)

Phases of Mitosis (Live Cell)

Interpretation, Analysis, and Discussion:

Cell Cycle is a process that cells undergo, it shows how the cell grows and
divides. It has four cycles G1, S, G2, and the M phase. The first stage that they go to is
called the interphase, this is the process where cells usually stay the longest. G1, this is
the part the cells develop and become bigger. S, the DNA of the cells will be replicated.
G2, this is the part where proteins will continue on producing and it will completely
develop. M, the cell will develop and produce more proteins in this phase and it
duplicates the DNA.

In the M phase, the cell will be divided into two copies, those two copies are the
two daughter cells. In this stage the number of cells will increase from production. In the
M phase the cells have two processes that they must undergo, the cytokinesis and
karyokinesis.

The Karyokinesis have four stages that must be completed, these are Prophase,
Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. Prophase, the DNA is already replicated and
the nucleolus will disappear and form a mitotic spindle that’ll segregate the
chromosomes. Metaphase, this is the part where the chromosomes will be arranged.
Anaphase, this is where the replicated chromosomes will be pulled into opposite
directions. Telophase, is where the nucleus that carries duplicated genetic material will
be separated to create two identical cells.

After all of this, Cytokinesis will start. It is the last stage of the M phase and is
where the production of the two daughter cells is complete. This process is really
important because the creation of a new cell is not possible if this process is not
present.

Conclusion:

There are 4 stages in Cell Cycle. G1, S, G2, and M. G1, is where proteins are
produced. S, is where the genetic material of the cell is replicated, G2, is where the
preparations are done before entering the final phase. M phase have two processes,
The Karyokinesis and Cytokinesis. There are 4 stages present in Karyokinesis, the
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. Prophase is where the cells
condense and are prepared to move to the next stage. Metaphase is where the
chromosomes are arranged. Anaphase is where the chromosomes are separated.
Telophase is where the nucleus DNA will produce two identical cells.
Application:

Mitosis can be applied to plants when it gets damaged, it is an important part in

regeneration because it is a process where new cells are created.
