    Study Notes

    • Mitosis is a process of cell division that enables regeneration of body parts
    • Mitosis involves the separation of nuclear chromosomes into two identical daughter nuclei
    • Mitosis is composed of four main phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
    • During prophase, chromatin condenses, forming chromosomes, and the nucleolus disappears
    • Centrosomes, each with a pair of centrioles, move apart forming a spindle between them
    • In metaphase, the chromosomes align along the middle of the cell due to microtubules interaction
    • During anaphase, sister chromatids separate at the kinetochore and move towards opposite poles as microtubules shorten
    • Telophase involves the arrival of daughter chromosomes at the poles, the chromatin starts to decondense, and nucleoli and nuclear membranes reform.
    • An additional phase, cytokinesis, occurs after nuclear division, creating two separate cells with their own nuclei and cytoplasm.
    • Cytokinesis is different in animals and plants: in animals, a cleavage furrow forms and deepens, dividing the cytoplasm, while in plants a cell plate forms and grows, dividing the cell wall.
