What is Mitosis?• Mitosis: Cell division
involving somatic (non-sex) cells
• Involves only diploid cells
• Form of asexual reproduction for some life (bacteria & protista, fungi)
• End Result: Two genetically identical “daughter cells”
The Cell Cycle• Defined:
Repeating set of events in the life of a cell
• 1) Interphase– G1, S, G2
• 2) Prophase• 3) Metaphase• 4) Anaphase• 5) Telophase
mitosis
Interphase• Divided into 3 Stages:• G1 Stage
– Normal function performed
– Cell growth– Organelles created
• S Stage– Chromatin (DNA
strands) duplicated
• G2 Stage– Cell growth– Normal function
performed
Prophase• 1st Mitosis Stage• Chromatin (DNA
strands) coils into chromosomes
• Nucleus dissolves spilling the chromosomes
• Spindle fibers form
Metaphase• 2nd stage of mitosis• Spindle fibers
attach to centromeres of each chromosome
• Spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to the cell’s equator
Anaphase• 3rd stage of mitosis• Spindle fibers rip
apart the chromosomes– 1 chromatid pulled
to each direction
Telophase• 4th stage of mitosis• Spindle fibers
dissolve• Cytokinesis occurs
(splitting of cytoplasm)
• Nucleus reforms• Chromatids unwind
into chromatin• End result: 2
identical diploid cells
