Mitosis is the process in cell division where the nuclei divide into two different nuclei. Each has a different set of chromosomes. Mitosis is four different phases prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. it is needed for growth repair, and development
What Is Mitosis
Metaphase
each cell has 46 chromatin
cell does normal things like making proteins
nucleus
Interphase
Anaphase
before mitosis the chromatin has to replicate itself..
Chromatin
the stringy pieces of DNA in the nucleus are called chromatin
the chromosomes condense or break down and become visible and Each half of the chromosome is a sister chromatoid they are identical. During prophase, the nucleus disintegrates. In this phase, you can see spindle fibers.
Prophase
Telophase
in metaphase, the chromosomes line up single file in the middle of the cell. Each half points in different directions. The spindle fibers are in the center of each chromosome.
sister chromatids split up and move toward opposite poles. Each half of the chromosone are pulled toward the point where the spindle fiber comes togther.
each newly formed cell has their own nucleus
in telophase two diploid daughter cells are being formed
