MITOSIS: One Cell Division that Produces Two Genetically identical, Diploid Daughter Cells
MITOSIS

Diagram Showing the Cell Division by Mitosis
|
PROCESS:
Each Chromosome in the Nucleus Copies Itself (Forms X - Shaped Chromosomes)
Chromosomes will Line Up at the Centre of the Cell where Cell Fibres will Pull them Apart
The Cell Divides into Two; Each New Cell has a Copy of Each of the Chromosomes
|
IMPORTANCE:
All Cells in the Body (Excluding Gametes) are Produced by the Mitosis of the Zygote
Important for the Replacement of Cells E.g, Skin Cells, Red Blood Cells
|
OCCURS IN:
Growth: Mitosis will Occur to Produce New Cells
Repair: To Replace Damaged or Dead Cells
Cloning: Make Identical Copies
Asexual Reproduction: Mitosis to Produce Offspring that is Genetically Identical to the Parent
