    Mitosis

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses the process of mitosis in cells. Mitosis involves the division of a cell into two identical daughter cells through four main phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. It provides details about the key events that occur in each phase of mitosis and how the process differs between animal and plant cells.

    Mitosis  Microtubule migrate to

    opposite poles of the cell


     Division of nucleus into 2 genetically
     Chromosomes are prepared to
    identical nuclei containing the same full
    line up at the center of the cell
    set of DNA.
     Occurs in somatic cells, except the sex Metaphase
    cells
     Prepares the cell for cytokinesis
     4 main phases: Prophase, Metaphase,
    Anaphase, and Telophase
     This is how individuals grow body parts,
    develop, repair damaged tissues,
    replace dead cells and change at a
    cellular level as they mature

    Prophase
     Chromosomes at the center
    • Meta means “after”
    • Events that occur:
     The spindle fibers attached to the
    kinetochore facilitates the movements
    of chromosomes toward the middle of
    the cell
     The chromosomes appear to line up
    along a plate equidistant from a
    microtubule region

     Start of Mitosis Anaphase

    • Pro means “before”

    • Events that occur:

     Chromatin condenses the DNA


    into chromosomes.
     Chromosomes are packaged
    into neat bundles for easier to
    move around when the division
    starts.
     The nuclear envelope breaks  Chromatids to Opposite Poles
    down.  Ana means “up” or “back”
     The nucleolus also disappears  Sister chromatids are tightly paired due
     Mitotic spindle is formed to the centromere and protein cohesin
     Events that occur:
     Cohesin breaks down and the
    sister chromatids separate from
    each other.
     Sister chromatids pull away
    from each other toward the
    opposite poles/ends of the cell.

    Telophase

    • Entire cytoplasm divides into 2 cells

    • Typically starts to occur in the late


    anaphase or telophase

    • Differs in animal and plant cell because


    of some differences in cellular
    structures

    Animal cell

     Reformation of Nuclei  formation of cleavage furrow


     Telo means “end”  The daughter cells receive equal
     Events that occur: portions of the parent’s plasma content
     2 complete sets of identical
    chromosomes are positioned to  Contractile ring- made of overlapping
    each pole of the cell. actin and myosin filaments
     The small fragments and
    protein molecules are scattered
    in the cytoplasm to rebuild the Plant cell
    nuclear membrane.
     the membrane cannot pinch off
     Nuclear membrane starts to
    because of the cell wall
    form and chromosomes begin
    to uncoil  A cell plate forms midway between the
    2 daughter cells nuclei

     New cellulose and other materials are


    Cytokinesis
    laid down for the formation of the cell
    wall to the newly formed plant cell.
