MitosisHow one cell becomes two
What is the purpose of Mitosis ?
Hint: How do little elephants grow up
to be BIG elephants?
How doES That CUT ON YOUR
FINGER HEAL ITSELF?
Mitosis…
Purpose: to make more cells
Two new cells are produced—just like the original
For Growth, Repair, and Replacement
Parent to Daughter Cell: Same DNA
Stages of MitosisInterphase
Most of a cells’ life is spent in Interphase
Interphase: “Inbetween”
Phase between mitosis stages Time for cell growth and
development Chemical changes leading to cell
division are taking place DNA replicates (copied)
Prophase: “Packaging”• Chromosomes coil; become
shorter and thicker (joined at centromere)
• Nuclear membrane disappears• Centrioles form and move
away from each other—protein spindle fibers form
• Protein fibers attach to centrioles
Metaphase: “Middle”
Chromosomes pair up and line up in the center (or middle) of the cell.
(Think: Metaphase = Middle)
Anaphase: “pull-Apart”
Chromosomes separate—pull on the spindle fibers—and move toward opposite sides of the cell—to the opposite poles.
(Think: Anaphase = Apart)
Telophase: “Two cells”• New nuclear
membranes form around the chromosomes.
• Cytoplasm begins to divide—Cytokinesis.
• Two new cells are formed.
• Cell enters again into Interphase.
How can I possibly remember all of this?!
Interphase (in between)
Prophase (packaging DNA)
Metaphase (line up in middle of cell)
Anaphase (pull apart)
Telophase
I-P-M-A-TCytokinesis (two cells from one)
