Mitosis and Cell Division Process
Mitosis is a crucial process in cell division, where new cells are produced for growth and to replace damaged or old cells. This complex process involves stages such as chromosome duplication and cell splitting to form daughter cells with identical genetic information as the parent cell. Mitosis is essential for the development and maintenance of all complex organisms, as every cell in the body originates from a single fertilized egg. Cells then specialize to perform various roles, containing the same genes but only activating some to enable specialization into different cell types like nerve or muscle tissue. Explore the fascinating world of mitosis and cell division through detailed images and explanations.

Mitosis Cell division
Cell division All complex organisms originated from a single fertilised egg. Every cell in your body started here, through cell division the numbers are increased Cell then specialise and change into their various roles
Mitosis Mitosis is the process by which new body cell are produced for: Growth Replacing damaged or old cells. This is a complex process requiring different stages
Parent cell Chromosomes are copied and double in number Chromosomes now split 2 daughter cells identical to original
Mitosis All daughter cells contain the same genetic information from the original parent cell from which it was copied. Every different type cell in your body contains the same genes, but only some act to make the cells specialise e.g. into nerve or muscle tissue.
