Mitosis is the process by
which a cell replicates its
chromosomes and then
segregates them,
producing two identical
nuclei in preparation for
cell division.
Karyokinesis, (division of nucleus) also known
as mitosis, is divided into a series of phase-
prophase, prometaphase, metaphase,
anaphase, and telophase – the result in the
division of the cell nucleus.
During Prophase, the “first phase”,
the nuclear envelope starts to
disassociate into small vesicles, and
the membrane organelles (such as
Golgi complex or Golgi apparatus),
and the endoplasmic reticulum),
fragment and disperse toward the
periphery of the cell. The nucleolus
disappears.
The centrosomes begin to move to
opposite poles of the cell.
Microtubules that will form the mitotic
spindle extend between the
centrosomes, pushing them farther
apart as the microtubules fibers
lengthen. The sister chromatids begin
to coil more tightly with the aid of
condensing proteins and become
visible under the light microscope.
During Prometaphase, the “first change phase”,
many processes that began in prophase
continue to advance. The remnants of the
nuclear envelope fragment. The mitotic spindle
continues to develop as more microtubules
assemble and stretch across the length of the
former nuclear area. Chromosomes become
more condensed and discrete. Each sister
chromatid develops protein structure called a
kinetochore in the centrometic region. The
proteins of the kinetochore attract and bind
mitotic spindle microtubules.
DEFINITION
During metaphase, the “change
phase”, all the chromosomes are
aligned in a plane called the
metaphase plate, or the equatorial
plane, midway between the two poles
of the cell. The sister chromatids are
still tightly attached to each other by
cohesion proteins. At this time, the
chromosomes are maximally
condensed.
DEFINITION
During anaphase, the “upward phase”, the
cohesion proteins degrade, and the sister
chromatids separate at the centromere.
Each chromatid, now called a chromosome
(because each possesses its own
centrosome), is pulled rapidly toward the
centrosome to which its microtubules is
attached. The cell becomes visibly
elongated (oval shaped) as the polar
microtubules slide against each other at the
metaphase plate where they overlap.
DEFINITION
During telophase, “the “distance
phase”, the chromosomes reach the
opposite poles and begin to
decondense (unravel), relaxing into a
chromatic configuration. The mitotic
spindles are depolymerized into
tubulin monomers that will be used to
assemble cytoskleletal components for
each daughter cel. Nuclear envelopes
form around the chromosomes.
DEFINITION
Cytokinesis, or “cell motion”, is the second main stage of the mitotic phase
during which cell division is completed via the physical separation of the
cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells. Division is not complete
until the cell components have been apportioned and completely separated
into the two daughter cells. Although the stages of mitosis are similar for
most eukaryotes, the process of cytokinesis follows the onset of anaphase. A
contractile ring composed of actin filaments forms just inside the plasma
membrane at the former metaphase plate. The actin filaments pull the
equator of the cell inward, forming a fissure.
DEFINITION
This fissure, or crack is called the cleavage furrow. The furrow deepens as
the actin ring contracts, and eventually the membrane is cleaved in two. In
plant cells, a new cell wall must form between the daughter cells. During
interphase, the Golgi Apparatus accumulates enzymes, structural proteins,
and glucose molecules prior to breaking into vesicles and dispersing
throughout the dividing cell. During telophase, these Golgi vesicles are
transported on microtubules to form a phragmoplast (a vesicular structure)
at the metaphase plate. There, the vesicles and coalesce from the center
toward the cell walls; this structure is called a cell plate.
Errors in cell division is generally due to non-disjunction of chromosomes or
sister chromatids and may to chromosal mutation. Mosaicism is a
consequence of mitosis passing on the mutation to some cells. It is a
condition where some cells in an individual have a mutant version of the
same gene. This is because mitosis is a process undergone by somatic cells
(not the egg or sperm cell) and only cells that are produced from the errant
cell will have the mutation. If the mutant genotype is widespread and
harmful enough, the mutation can have a major impact. Mosaicism usually
results from non-disjunction of sister chromatids during fetal development.
Two examples of diseases linked to mosaicism are hemophilia, a blood-
clotting disorder, and Marfan syndrome, or usually long limbs.
