Mitosis

The process of cell division have important functions, which are growth of the body, replacement, and repair. To accomplish each of these function, each daughter cell must have exactly the same genetic information as the parents. For this to happen, the genetic material of the parent cell must be correctly duplicated, chromatin must be condensed into chromosomes, and one set of chromosomes must be divided into each of two nuclei.


  • Prophase: This is the first phase of the four of mitosis. during prophase, the chromatin condenses into chromosome. The nuclear membrane breaks down, as well as the nucleolus. Centrioles start to move to the poles, and spindles fibres start to be formed. 
  • Metaphase: The spindle fibres guides the chromosome to the center of the cell, the equator line. Each sister chromatid faces one pole.
  • Anaphase: centromeres are splits apart and the sister chromatids separate from each other.
  • Telophase: This is the final phase of mitosis. Chromatids starts to transform into chromatids. Nuclear membrane and nucleolus are back. Centrioles divids.
  • Cytokinesis: The cytoplasm divides.
