What is a gene?
A gene is a short section of dna that codes for protein
What is mitosis?
Mitosis is a form of nuclear division that produces a genetically identical copy of the cell
When does mitosis occur?
Growth of multicellular organism, repair damaged tissue, asexual reproduction in some reproduction
Cell cycle of mitosis
The first stage of the cell cycle is interface then prophase - where the nuclear membrane breaks down also copies each chromosome . After that we have metaphase the Chrom line up across center of the cell . Then we have anaphase- one set of chromosome which means is pulled to each end of the cell. Then we have telophase where the nucleus is divided. Finally we have cytokenises - the cytoplasm in cell membrane divide to form two genetically identical cells.
