Mitosis |
The process of one cell splitting to create two cells with identical DNA |
|
|
What cells do not carry out mitosis? |
Gametes, or sperm and eggs |
|
|
How do cells divide? |
Through mitosis or the cell cycle |
|
|
Cell Cycle |
Regular sequence of growth and division |
|
|
What are the three phases of Mitosis |
Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis |
|
|
Interphase |
Cell grows in size, makes a copy of its DNA and prepares to split |
|
|
Prophase |
Chromosomes and spindle fibers form, chromatids develop |
|
|
Metaphase |
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and attach to spindle fibers, nuclear membrane disappears |
|
|
Anaphase |
Centromeres split and each chromatid moves to the opposite end of the cell |
|
|
Telophase |
New nuclear membrane appears and cell membrane pinches in |
|
|
Cytokinesis |
Cell membrane splits and two identical cells are formed |
|
|
Synonyms for mitosis |
Asexual reproduction Cell cycle Cloning |
|
|
Cancer |
Disease in which cells grow and divide uncontrollably |
