process by which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets, in two separate nuclei.

Where does Mitosis occur?

occurs only in eukaryotic cells and the process varies in different species

How is the sequence of events divided?

The sequence of events is divided into stages corresponding to the completion of one set of activities and the start of the next.

These stages are interphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

What happens during mitosis to the pairs of chromatids?

During mitosis the pairs of chromatids condense and attach to fibers that pull the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell

What is the result of Mitosis?

The primary result of mitosis is the transferring of the parent cell's genome into two daughter cells.

what happens to the nuclear envelope?

In most eukaryotes, the nuclear envelope which segregates the DNA from the cytoplasm disassembles

" Microtubules find and attach to kinetochores in prometaphase.

When every kinetochore is attached to a cluster of microtubules and the chromosomes have lined up along the metaphase plate, the cell proceeds to anaphase

Telophase (from the Greek τελος meaning "end") is a reversal of prophase and prometaphase events

Cytokinesis is often mistakenly thought to be the final part of telophase; however, cytokinesis is a separate process that begins at the same time as telophase.

Developement and Growth

The number of cells within an organism increases by mitosis

Mitosis is specifically what?

is specifically the process of division of the chromosomes

What is tissue culture?

One interesting offshoot of the study of mitosis is tissue culture. In tissue culture, the cells to be studied are removed from the organism’s body and grown on a sterile, artificial medium.

The daughter cells are identical to one another and to the original parent cell.

is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication).

in cells without a nucleus....

the cell cycle occurs via a process termed binary fission.

How is the cell division process vital?

The cell-division cycle is a vital process by which a single-celled fertilized egg develops into a mature organism, as well as the process by which hair, skin, blood cells, and some internal organs are renewed.

What are the stages of the Cell cycle?

interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis

Why must cell energy be balanced?

to maintain function and balance

What happends during the prophase stage of mitosis?

replicated chromosomes condense.
