- Mitosis
- Process
- Interphase - cell does not divide, DNA replicates
- Prophase - Chromosomes are visible, nuclear envelope disappears + chromosomes condense
- Metaphase - Chromosomes arrange at centre of cell + spindle fibres attach to centromere
- Anaphase - spindle fibres shorten and pull chromosome apart - chromatids at different poles
- Telophase - Chromosomes elongate + nuclear envelope reforms
- Anaphase - spindle fibres shorten and pull chromosome apart - chromatids at different poles
- Metaphase - Chromosomes arrange at centre of cell + spindle fibres attach to centromere
- Prophase - Chromosomes are visible, nuclear envelope disappears + chromosomes condense
- Interphase - cell does not divide, DNA replicates
- Key facts
- Used for growth, repair and division of specialised cells for specialised tissue
- Produces two daughter cells
- Produces diploid cells - contain same amount of chromosomes as parent
- Is genetically identical to parent cell
- Process of nuclear division
- Homologous chromosomes behave independently
- Process
