1. Mitosis

2. Mitosis vs. Meiosis Mitosis – production of body cells
Body cells are diploid (2n)
Meiosis – production of sex cells
Sex cells are haploid (n)

3. Mitosis and Cytokinesis
Mitosis – is the process of producing body cells
The nucleus divides to form two nuclei
Cytokinesis – the process where the cytoplasm divides during mitosis

5. The Stages of
Mitosis

6. The Stages of
Mitosis

7. Interphase
Interphase – is the stage when a cell is between mitotic cycles and not dividing
Cells are in Interphase most of the time
The DNA appears as chromatin

8. Prophase Prophase – is the stage where the nuclear membrane disappears
The DNA appears as chromosomes

9. Metaphase
Metaphase – is the stage where the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

10. Anaphase
Anaphase – is the stage where the chromosomes move towards opposite sides of the cell

11. Telophase
Telophase – is the stage where the nuclear membrane reappears
Almost 2 new cells
Cell plate forms in plant cells

12. Plant Cell Mitosis

13. Parts of a Chromosome Chromatid – each strand of doubled chromosomes
Centromere – region where chromatids are connected

Chromosomes
