Biology Cell Process that Uses Division to multiply

• Mitosis is done to produce body cells.
• Mitosis makes identical cells
• Cancer is uncontrolled cell growth
• Chromosomes are made of DNA and protein.
• We have 46 chromosomes
• Interphase is the stage where most of the time, cells are spending their time which means they are duplicating your DNA.
• Chromatids = strands of replicated chromosome
• Centromere = part of chromosome where sister chromatids are held together
• There are four stages of Mitosis 

  (PMAT)
• Prophase is the stage where the nucleus is still there, the chromosomes are also visible. In fact, we say they're condensing. (Which means they are thickening and visible.)
• Metaphase is when the nuclear membrane disappears and the centrosomes move towards opposite poles of the cell. The spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes at this point.
• Anaphase, in this stage the chromosomes are moving to opposite sides of the cell. Spindles (they are fibers) help move the chromosomes to the ends.
• Telophase, the fourth stage of Mitosis, and new nuclei are forming on each side to make these two new cells. The nuclei are starting to surround the chromosomes on both sides.
• Cytokinesis is responsible for the final separation into two new cells by splitting the cytoplasm, which completes after the PMAT mitosis stages.
