Study Notes
Mitosis Overview
- The primary goal of mitosis is to equally divide the replicated DNA among two daughter cells.
Cell Cycle Phases
- Mitosis occurs in the M phase (mitotic phase) of the cell cycle.
Spindle Fibers Role
- The spindle fibers play a crucial role in mitosis by separating the duplicated chromosomes and aligning them at the center of the cell.
- They then pull the sister chromatids apart, ensuring each new daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
