Mitosis
What is the second stage of mitosis
prophase
What is the first stage of Mitosis
Interphase
What is the third stage of mitosis
metaphase
What is the fourth stage of mitosis
anaphase
what is the fifth stage of mitosis
telophase
what is the sixth stage of mitosis
cytokinesis
Telophase define
cleavage furrow forms, two nuclei reappear, cell prepares to pinch into two
Mitosis define
A type of cell division for growth and prepare and healing
Anaphase define
chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell
Parent cell define
The initial cell doing the dividing; it passes its DNA/Chromosomes to the daughter cells.
prophase
the nucleus starts to fade, the chromosomes being to pair up, and spindle fibers form
daughter cell
The final product of cell division which is identical to the parent cell
chromosomes
located in the nucleus and is the DNA genetic material that gets passed on
cytokinesis
the final step in which the cell officially splits into two
spindle fibers
appear during prophase in order to pair up and move around the chromosomes
cleavage furrow
forms during telophase in animal cells only in order to split
metaphase
chromosomes are aligned in the middle of the cell
cell plate
forms in plant cells only in order to split the plant cell into two cells
Interphase
the longest phase of a cell life; the normal life phase; DNA begins to replicate
What part of plant cells have that animal cells don't that make cytokinesis(dividing) different?Explain how this affects that final step
Plant cells have cell wall, which animal cells do not. This cell wall makes plant cells very hard and rigid. As a result, the plant cells cannot form a cleavage furrow and pinch into two seperate cells like animal cells do. Instead, a cell plate forms during cytokinesis which finally help splits the plant cell into two seperate cells completing cell division
What is the purpose of mitosis
The main purpose of mitosis is for growth and repair. Infants start out with millions or billions of cells and as they grow into adults mitosis allows that number to grow into the trillions. Also, if you cut your finger, mitosis allows your cells to reproduce in order to heal that cut
List the three parts of the cell theory
1-all living organisms are composed of one or more cel
2-A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living organisms.
3-All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Why is mitosis essential for survival
A good example if why mitosis is essential for survival is because if mitosis did not occur, anytime we hurt ourselves, our body would never be able to repair the injured or damaged parts. Mitosis is the reason we don't bleed out from an open wound everytime we cut ourselves by healing the damaged tissue in order to close the wound.
