Revision 6547975 of "Process of Mitosis" on simplewiki

[[Mitosis]] is the type of cell division that form 2 identical daughter cells.
[[Mitosis]] is important for 1.Growth, 2.asexual reproduction 3.replace and repair damaged cells. The process that takes place before cell division{Mitosis} is called [[interphase]] where DNA replication makes copy of itself

Mitosis has 4 phases:
1. [[Prophase]]
2. [[Metaphase]]
3. [[Anaphase]]
4. [[Telophase]]
We use the acronym P.MAT for understanding the correct order that takes place.

1.[[Prophase]]
= [[spindle fibres]] form and [[chromatin network]] is seen as [[chromosomes]]

2.[[Metaphase]]
= [[Chromosomes]] line up at the equator (in the middle of spindle fibres)
• [[Chromosomes]] attached to spindle fibres by [[centromere]]

3. [[Anaphase]]
= [[chromosomes]] are pulled to opposite poles by [[spindle fibres]] forming two identical [[daughter cells]]

4. [[Telophase]]
★ 2 new [[identical daughter cells]] formed
