What is mitosis?

Question

What is mitosis?

Answer 1

Mitosis - a process that takes place in the nucleus of a dividing cell, involves typically a series of steps consisting of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, and results in the formation of two new nuclei each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent nucleus

Answer 2

the process by which a cell duplicates its genetic information (DNA), in order to generate two, identical, daughter cells.

Answer 4

small little mites that infect the head of cabbage or kale type bvetgetables.

Answer 5

cell division

Answer 6

it is when a cell clones itself to make two of them that are exactly alike. you do it to copy your chromosomes and make you healthy.

Answer 7

Mitosis is when one cell splits into half, so it's the exact copy of the other half. When they split, it becomes into two cells. It's basically the reproduction of cells.

Answer 8

Mitosis is the second stage in the cell cycle. In this stage the cell copies and seperates its DNA and creates the 2 nuclei that will be given to its daughter cells.

Answer 9

that thing on ur neck

Answer 10

Mitosis occurs where a cell divides, duplicating its genetic material during the process. It is a method of repair and protection in most organisms but for simpler organisms, it is a form of reproduction

Answer 11

Mitosis a process of cell division which results in the production of two daughter cells from a single parent cell.

There are 4 phases. Prophase,metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Answer 12

Mitosis is a process of cell division which results in the production of two daughter cells from a single parent cell. The daughter cells are identical to one another and to the original parent cell.

In a typical animal cell, mitosis can be divided into four principals stages:

Prophase: The chromatin, diffuse in interphase, condenses into chromosomes. Each chromosome has duplicated and now consists of two sister chromatids. At the end of prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down into vesicles.

  

Metaphase: The chromosomes align at the equitorial plate and are held in place by microtubules attached to the mitotic spindle and to part of the centromere.

  

Anaphase: The centromeres divide. Sister chromatids separate and move toward the corresponding poles.

  

Telophase: Daughter chromosomes arrive at the poles and the microtubules disappear. The condensed chromatin expands and the nuclear envelope reappears. The cytoplasm divides, the cell membrane pinches inward ultimately producing two daughter cells (phase: Cytokinesis).

Answer 13

a disese

Answer 14

Mitosis is the process of cell division. Mitosis is divided into 4 stages in which the cell replicates all parts of the cell, the mitocondria, the nucleus, the ribosomes, all of it is duplicated.

Then it all moves to seperates sides of the cell, the cell begins to divide and then it finally divides into 2 seperate cels.

Answer 15

I think it is the process of cell division, whereby the two separate parts, are identical to each other and also identical to the original cell...

Answer 16

Mitosis is the process by which a cell duplicates its genetic information (DNA), in order to generate two, identical, daughter cells

If you go to this website, you'll probably get more information. You could google mitosis too, and there's lots of results.

Answer 17

Mitosis is a biological term used in cell division chapter.

Mitosis and Meosis are two type of cell divison. Our cell divides by Mitosis.

Answer 18

A cell duplicates to form 2 identical daughter cells.

Answer 19

Every answer is correct, however  Mitosis is cell division of all the bodies cells except s*x cells,which is called Meiosis.

Answer 20

a type of cell division that produce two identical daughter cells which have the same genetic composition as the parent cell

mitosis is important in

1.repairing damage cell

2.for growth
