Mitosis
What is Mitosis?
Mitosis is the process when cells split apart and form a new cell.
Prophase.
- During this phase parent cells become more compact and put together.
metaphase
- When cells divide into two female daughter cells.
- They are identical.
Anaphase.
- Chromosomes that split into identical groups and move to opposite ends of the cell.
Telophase
- The spindle fibers start to disappear
- chromosomes uncoil and it becomes harder to see them
- develops own nucleus and new cells are formed
Importance...
- it plays an important role to make new embryos, it is also important for the growth of our bodies.
- Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old, lost or damaged. In mitosis a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells.
