mitosis;ae

QuestionAnswer
mitosis is when a cell divides itself into 2 or more cells.
basically mitosis is cell division - or growth, as its mass increases.
With different organisms different environments are needed for this to happen effectively and quickly
Mitosis is the division of all body cells except gametes (sex cells)
It consists of 5 stages: Interphase
It consists of 5 stages: Prophase
It consists of 5 stages: Metaphase
It consists of 5 stages: Anaphase
It consists of 5 stages: Telophase
Interphase is when DNA of the cell duplicates and protein synthesis takes place
Prophase is when the sister chromatids condense and become visible and the cell membrane goes.
Metaphase is when the sister chromatids line up along the equater of the cell (down the middle).
Anaphase is when the spindle fibres contract resulting in the sister chromatids being pulled apart.
Telophase is the final step where half of the DNA goes into a new cell and half stay in the old cell.
Cytokinesis: Once new nuclei have formed, the cells cytoplasm evenly divide, and the cell pulls apart. The cell membrane forms to create two daughter cells.
Mitotic division permits exactly equal amounts of chromosomes and their genes to be dealt to cells.
The cell cycle is similar for both animal and plant cells
Cells may repeat cell cycles many times
A cell eventually may no longer divide, and this may last for the remainder of a cell's life Read more at Suite101: Basic Facts of Mitosis in Animals of All Kinds: Mitotic Division and Chromosome Separation in the Animal Kingdom | Suite101.com http://donald-reinhardt.suit
Mature neurological cells and tissues of higher animals usually do not grow and divide in the mature organism.
An exception to this occurs with all types of cancers abnormal, unregulated mitotic and cell divisions which ultimately may kill an organism.
During DNA synthesis (S phase) the normal diploid number (2n) of chromosomes doubles to form tetraploid (4n) chromatids
Mitosis follows shortly after the completion of the S phase and precisely distributes equal, complete sets of chromosomes to each new cell, i.e. 4n chromosomes---> 2 cells each with 2n chromosomes.
Mitosis occurs only in eukaryotic cells and the process varies in different species.
animals undergo an "open" mitosis
"open" mitosis where the nuclear envelope breaks down before the chromosomes separate, while fungi such as Aspergillus nidulans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) undergo a "closed" mitosis, where chromosomes divide within an intact cell nucleus. Prokaryotic cells, wh

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
