Phases of Mitosis
Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
The purpose of mitosis is to create two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell, ensuring each new cell has the same genetic information.
- 2
During interphase, the cell grows, duplicates its DNA in the S phase, and replicates its centrosomes in preparation for mitosis.
- 3
The phases of mitosis, in order, are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, often remembered by the mnemonic IPMAT.
