MITOSIS

MITOSIS•Cell reproduction•Makes an exact copy of the cell

Mitosis• The nucleus of

the cell divides in two– The nucleus

contains the genetic material/ chromosomes of the organism • Chromosomes

are made of DNA

Mitosis•Produces 2 cells – called

daughter cells – from one parent cell

•Daughter cells are identical to each another and to the original parent cell

Mitosis• Occurs because:

– Growth of multi-cellular organisms in size and complexity by making more cells

– Replacement of old and damaged cells continuously by the division of cells

– Asexual reproduction of an organism, such as bacteria, divide to make new, independent organisms•Binary fission – asexual reproduction

Mitosis•The nucleus divides in

several phases
