(I)GCSE Topic 3.24 a) Mitosis 1



MITOSIS = a form of cell devision which results in growth 
- Growth occurs by an increase in the number of cells

Outline of the Process  
- the number of chromosomes in a nucleus is known as the Diploid number (2n)
- for human 2n = 46 chromosomes
- in the process of Mitosis each cell in the body will divide up onto two cells
- if looked at closely, the two cells can be identified as equal/daughter cells
=> they have the same number of Chromosomes
=> they have the same set of Chromosome
