Lab 5. Mitosis Division. What is Mitotic Cell Division?. Division of somatic cells (body cells) (non reproductive cells) in eukaryotic organisms. A single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cellular reproduction). => Maintains chromosome ploidy of cell.

Lab 5 Mitosis Division
What is Mitotic Cell Division? • Division of somatic cells (body cells) • (non reproductive cells) in • eukaryotic organisms • A single cell divides into two • identical daughter cells • (cellular reproduction) => Maintains chromosome ploidy of cell
Ploidy – refers to the numberofpairs of chromosomes in cells • haploid – one copy of each • chromosome • – designated as “n” • diploid – two copies (= pair) of each • chromosome • – designated as “2n”
As a cell enters mitosis from interphase it has 2 complete sets of chromosomes because of replication in the S phase. Each set must be re-arranged and distributed into the 2 new daughter nuclei. This is mitosis.
Cell Division Mitosis includes 4 stages : 1- Prophase . 2-Metaphase. 3-Anaphase. 4-Telophase.
1-Prophase. -Chromatin condenses (coils) into chromosomes. Sister chromatids joined by centromere. -Nuclear membrane dissolves. -Centrioles divide and move to opposite poles forming spindle between them.
condensing chromosomes chromatin nucleus nucleolus centrioles
2-Metaphase. -Sister chromatids line up on metaphase plate. -Centromeres lock on to spindle fibre
3-Anaphase . -Centromeres divide. -Spindle fibres contract pulling sister chromatids apart to poles.
4-Telophase. -New nuclear membranes form around new nuclei
