What is Mitosis?• Mitosis: Cell division
involving somatic (non-sex) cells
• Involves only diploid cellsy p– 2n
• Form of asexual• Form of asexual reproduction for some life (bacteria & protista fungi)(bacteria & protista, fungi)
• End Result: Two genetically identicalgenetically identical “daughter cells”
The Cell Cycle• Defined: Repeating set of events in the life of a cell• Defined: Repeating set of events in the life of a cell• 1) Interphase
G1 S G2– G1, S, G2
• 2) Prophase• 3) Metaphase• 3) Metaphase• 4) Anaphase5) T l h• 5) Telophase
Remember: The cell won’t continue on to the next stage unless the cell is large enough and everything has been copied properly.
Interphasep• Divided into 3 Stages:• G1 Stage• G1 Stage
– Normal function performed
– Cell growth– Organelles replicated
• S Stage• S Stage– Chromatin (DNA
strands) duplicated• G2 Stage
– Cell growthN l f ti– Normal function performed
Prophasep• 1st Mitosis Stage• Chromatin (DNA
strands) coils into chromosomes
• Nucleus dissolvesNucleus dissolves spilling the chromosomeschromosomes
• Spindle fibers fform
Metaphasep• 2nd stage of
mitosismitosis• Spindle fibers
attach toattach to centromeres of each chromosomea o oso
• Spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to the cell’s equator
Anaphasep• 3rd stage of mitosis• Spindle fibers pull
½ the chromatids to each end of the cell–Humans: 46
chromatids each way
Telophasep• 4th stage of mitosis
S i dl fib• Spindle fibers dissolveCh tid i d• Chromatids unwind into chromatinN l f• Nucleus reforms
• Cytokinesis: di i i f thdivision of the cytoplasm
