makes new cells for growth, repair and asexual reproduction
1 of 16
Interphase
DNA is spread out in long strings. Before it divides it must grow to increase the amount of sub-cellular structures. The DNA is then duplicated so there's a copy for each new cell.
2 of 16
How many stages is mitosis dived into?
four stages
3 of 16
Prophase
The chromosomes condense, getting shorter and fatter. The membrane around the nucleus breaks down and the chromosomes lie free in the cytoplasm.
4 of 16
Metaphase
The chromosomes line up at the centre of the cell
5 of 16
Anaphase
Cell fibers pull the chromosome apart. The two arms of each chromosome go to opposite ends of the cell
6 of 16
Telophase
Membranes form around each of the sets of chromosomes. These become the nuclei of the two new cells - the nucleus has divided
7 of 16
Cytokinesis
Before telophase ends, the cytoplasm and cell membrane divide to form two separate cells
Which phase involves the chromosomes lining up at the centre of the cell?
