Cell division
All complex organisms originated from a single fertilized egg.
Every cell in your body started here, through cell division the numbers are increased
Cell then specialize and change into their various roles
Mitosis
Mitosis is the process by which new body cell are produced for:GrowthReplacing damaged or old cells.
Cell division occurs in a series of stages, or mitosis.
2 daughter cells identical to original
Parent cell
Chromosomes are copied and double in number
Chromosomes now split
Animated Mitosis Cyclehttp://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm
• Interphase
• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Anaphase
• Telophase & Cytokinesis
Interphase occurs before mitosis begins
• Chromosomes are copied (# doubles)• Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils
(chromatin) at the start, but each chromosome and its copy(sister chromosome) change to sister chromatids at end of this phase

Prophase 1st step in Mitosis
• Mitosis begins (cell begins to divide)
• Centrioles (or poles) appear and begin to move to opposite end of the cell.
• Spindle fibers form between the poles.

Metaphase 2nd step in Mitosis
• Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers.

Anaphase 3rd step in Mitosis
• Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell.

Telophase 4th step in Mitosis
• Two new nuclei form.
• Chromosomes appear as chromatin (threads rather than rods).
• Mitosis ends.

Chromatin
Cytokinesisoccurs after mitosis
• Cell membrane moves inward to create two
daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.
Mitosis
All daughter cells contain the same genetic information from the original parent cell from which it was copied.
Every different type cell in your body contains the same genes, but only some act to make the cells specialize – e.g. into nerve or muscle tissue.
