What is mitosis?
DNA replication
creates new cells in the developing embryo, fetus, and child.
the cell that divides is called the parent cell, and the new cells are called daughter cells
stages of mitosis in order:
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase,
What happens in Prophase?
Nuclear envelope disappears - DNA condenses into chromatids - and sister chromatids
What happens in Metaphase?
Line up in middle - spindle fibers start to attach to sister chromatids
What happens in Anaphase?
Pull chromatids apart
What happens in Telophase?
Reform nucleus and cytokinesis forms 2 new cells
What is Cytokinesis?
Divides cytosol and organelles equally between two new daughter cells.
