The objective of mitosis is to make two genetically identical cells from a single cell. In the cells of our body, we start with 46 chromosomes in a single cell and end up with 46 chromosomes in two cells. Obviously, replicating the chromosomes is a prerequisite to mitosis. Remember, replication takes place during interphase when the chromosomes are dispersed structures in the nucleus. Mitosis is an organized procession of activity in the cell that allows the replicated chromosomes to be properly divided into two identical cells. Chromosomes are important because they contain genes. Therefore we will include genes on our chromosome diagrams and slide show. These pictures depict the four stages of mitosis. We will describe the events at each stage that are important in understanding the distribution of genes during cell division.

Process Of Cell Division

Mitosis is the simpler of these two related cell-division processes and is similar to binary fission in that it is a single division that results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells with the same diploid number of chromosomes as the parent cell (46 in humans). Cell - Cell - Cell division and growth: In unicellular organisms, cell division is the means of reproduction; in multicellular organisms, it is the means of tissue growth and maintenance. Survival of the eukaryotes depends upon interactions between many cell types, and it is essential that a balanced distribution of types be maintained. This is achieved by the highly regulated process of cell. A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. Chromosomes become visible, nuclear membrane dissolves, spindle fibers forms. Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
