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
