mitosis

• Interphase


  Stage of cell cycle where DNA is copied to produce duplicate chromasomes
• Mitosis


  1. Duplicate chromosomes line up across centre of cell

  2. Cell fibres attach to duplicate chromosomes and pull them apart

  3. One chromosome arm (chromatid) from each set is pulled to each end of cell

  4. New nucleus forms around each group of chromosomes

  5. Cytoplasm and cell membranes divide in a process known as cytokinesis, resulting in formation of 2 genetically identical daughter cells
