Mitosis:
The type of cell division in which the daughter
cells receive the same number of chromosomes.
• The daughter cells are identical in all aspects except size.
• It occurs in somatic cells of eukaryotes.
 Mitosis is divided into two types:
1. Karyokinesis
2. Cytokinesis
Karyokinesis:
Karyon means “Nucleus”
Kinesis means “Division”
 The division of nucleus is called karyokinesis.
Prophase:
•First stage of mitosis.
•Chromatin material
condenses.
•Chromatin form
chromosomes.
•Nuclear membrane
disappears.
•Centrioles moves
towards opposite poles.
•Spindle fibers are
formed.
Metaphase:
•The centrioles reaches to
opposite poles.
•Chromosomes occupy
the cenral region.
•Centromeres attach to
spindle fibers.
Anaphase:
•The chromosomes are divided
at centromere.
•Divided chromatids start
moving towards opposite poles.
Telophase:
•Reverse of prophase.
•Chromosomes reaches
towards opposite poles.
•Spindle fibers start
disappearing.
•Nuclear membrance &
nucleolus reappers.
•Chromosomes change into
chromatin.
•As a result two daughter
nuclie are formed.
Cytokinesis:
Cyto means “cytoplasm”
Kinesis means “division”
 The dvision of cytoplasm is called cytokinesis.
Explanation(Cytokinesis):
• The plasma membrane
move inward in the
center of the cell.
• The plasma membrane
move deeper and
deeper.
• Finally the cell divides
into two daughter cells.
