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
