Amoeba sisters Mitosis

Master mitosis with Amoeba Sisters! Explore cell division's amazing process.

Amoeba sisters Mitosis: The Amazing Cell Process that Uses Division to Multiply! 1. Mitosis is a type of cell division done by most of your body cells.2. If your cells didn't divide, you wouldn't grow.3. Mitosis is also a way of repairing damage.4. Mitosis is not the process of making sperm or egg cells, that is the process of meiosis.5. Mitosis produces bodycells (compared to what meiosis makes).6. Mitosis makes cells that are identical to each other.7. Your cells are NOT dividing all the time.8. Cancer is uncontrolled cell growth.9. What are cells doing during interphase? 1) Growing 2) Replicatingit's DNA 3) Carrying out its normal cell functions10. Interphase is about 90% (percentage) of the cell cycle compared to mitosis' (percentage) 10%12. DNA gets condensed into chromosomes13. Chromosomes are made of both the hereditary factors,DNA,and the organization factors,protein.14. Humans have 46chromosomes.15. In interphase before mitosis starts the chromosomes must duplicate.16. We count chromosomes by the number of centromerespresent. Chromosomes How many chromosomes and chromatids AFTER mitosis? 46 92 18. What are the four stages of mitosis? P - prophase M - metaphase A - anaphase T - telophase19. In P - the nucleus is still there, chromosomes are condensing20. In M - the chromosomes are lining up in the middle of the cell, the nucleus is no longer there.21. In A - the chromosomes are moving away from each other.22. The chromosomes are being moved by spindles.23. In T - the chromosomes are at opposite ends of the cell and new nuclei are forming.24. In the human cells each new cell will have 46 chromosomes.25. Cytokinesisis the process responsible for the separation into two new cells, this happens after the four stages of mitosis.26. Without understanding cell division we would not understand how growth and repair happens.27. Understanding mitosis is important to understand cancer research as well.
