Mitosis

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell produces two genetically identical daughter cells. During mitosis, new cells are formed during the process of body growth and regeneration.

Nuclear division (karyokinesis) occurs in the first four stages:

1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase

After this, division of the cytoplasm begins (cytokinesis), as a result of which two daughter cells are formed.

By comparison, meiosis is another type of cell division in which a single cell produces four genetically distinct daughter cells.

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell produces two genetically identical daughter cells. During mitosis, new cells are formed during the growth of the body and tissue regeneration.

The process of mitosis consists of several successive stages:

1. Prophase - condensation of chromosomes, destruction of the nuclear membrane.

2. Metaphase - chromosomes line up in the equatorial plane of the cell.

3. Anaphase is the separation of sister chromatids and their movement to the poles of the cell.

4. Telophase is the formation of a nuclear envelope around groups of chromosomes at the poles.

After nuclear division, cytokinesis occurs - division of the cytoplasm and the formation of two daughter cells. As a result of mitosis, two daughter cells with an identical set of chromosomes are formed from one mother cell.

Very often we hear the word "mitosis". What is mitosis? First of all, we note that cell division in eukaryotes through mitosis is the most common way of their reproduction. In prokaryotes, reproduction does not occur by cell division, but rather by direct division of DNA. Mitosis consists of dividing cells, which include the nucleus, the adjacent mitochondrial and plastid systems, and the cytoplasm. The process of mitosis involves the division of the nucleus (cleavage), the formation of a pair of sister chromatids, and the separation or separation of these sister chromosomes and nuclei (cytoplasmic division
