Mitosis

Separates sister chromatids

Anaphase

Function of Mitosis

Allows an organism to:

grow, regenerate(repair) damaged tissues or body parts, replace malfunctioning cells, and replace dead cells

Division of the Cytoplasm

Cytokinesis

Division of the nucleus

Mitosis

G0 stage - normal functions

G1 stage - cell doubles its organelles; cell grows in size

S stage - DNA replication occurs (interphase)

G2 stage - proteins needed for divison are synthesized

Interphase

Mitosis - nuclear division

Cytokinesis - cytoplasmic division

Cell Division

• Final protein synthesis

• DNA replication

• Protein synthesis

• Cell Growth

Interphase

spindles start to appear, the nucleus replicates its DNA

interphase

chromatin forms chromosomes

prophase

before, nucleus breaking a part, spindles

prometaphase

chromosomes line up single file

metaphase

ana seperates sister chromatids

anaphase

nucleus starts to reform

telophase/cytokinesis
