Mitosis

• Mitosis


  A type of cell division in the body, any cell apart from gametes
• Daughter cells


  The cells that divide in the parent cell - 2 formed
• Stages of Mitosis


  1. Interphase

  2. Prophase

  3. Metaphase

  4. Anaphase

  5. Telophase
• Interphase


  1. Chromosomes visible

  2. DNA copied
• Prophase


  1. Each chromosome has 2 chromatids

  2. Nuclear membrane breaks down
• Metaphase


  Chromosomes line up
• Anaphase


  1. Chromatids separate

  2. Chromatids pulled to each side
• Telophase


  1. Nuclear membrane forms

  2. Chromosomes uncoil

  3. Spindle fibres disappear

  4. Cell divides into two daughter cells
• Meiosis is a type of cell division in the body, any cell apart from gametes
• The cell that divide in the parent call - 2 formed are called daughter cells
