MITOSIS

What is mitosis in plants?

• Mitosis is the process that results in the formation of
new cells.
• Cells undergo mitosis, therefore, as part of plant
growth.
How mitosis occur in
-plants?
Mitosis in plants happens in the meristems of the plant
that are located at the tip of the stems and roots.
- These two areas are responsible to produce all the cells
the plants needs to grow.
MITOSIS
- Is the process in which a eukaryotic cell nucleus splits in
two, followed by division of the parent cell into two
daughter cells.
- The word “mitosis” means “threads”, and it refers to the
threadlike appearance of Chromosomes as the cell
prepares to divide.
PROPHASE
- Is the first stage of the M
phase.
- In prophase the chromatin
begins to coil and condense to
form chromosomes.
- They are coiling because they
are preparing to move around.
METAPHASE
- In metaphase, the spindle has
captured all the chromosomes
and lined them up at the
middle of the cell, ready to
divide.
- All the chromosomes align at
the metaphase plate.
 ANAPHASE
- Anaphase is the third phase of
mitosis, the process that separates
the duplicated genetic material
carried in the nucleus of a parent
cell into two identical daughter
cells.
TELOPHASE
- Telophase in plant cell is different than that
in animal cell. Because of the rigid cell wall,
the plant cell can not form as a cleavage
furrow.
- Instead a new cell wall { known as the cell
plate } begins to form across the equator.
- As in the animal cell, the chromosomes
may be visible at this stage or the new
nucleus may be forming and thus may be
visible.
5th last cytokinesis
- Cytokinesis is accomplished through the formation of
cell plate.
- A collection of microtubules transport vesicles
containing cell wall materials to the center of the cell .
- There the vesicles fuse together, creating a flat,
membrane-enclosed disc-the cell plate.
