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
