Purpose

  • Growth, repair and replacement of body cells
  • Produces 2 identical diploid daughter cells

Phases

  • Prophase — chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane breaks down
  • Metaphase — chromosomes line up at the middle
  • Anaphase — sister chromatids are pulled apart
  • Telophase — two nuclei re-form; cytokinesis splits the cytoplasm

Mnemonic

  • PMAT — and Metaphase = Middle, Anaphase = Apart

Before It

  • Interphase is where DNA is replicated — the cell spends most of its life here
Key takeaway
