Three reasons why cells reproduce by
asexual reproduction:
1. Growth
2. Repair
3. Replacement
Skin cancer - the abnormal growth of
skin cells - most often develops on skin
exposed to the sun.
Cell that reproduce by asexual
reproduction reproduce constantly.
Animated Mitosis Cycle
http://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm
• Interphase
• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Anaphase
• Telophase & Cytokinesis
Interphase
occurs before mitosis begins
• Cell is doing all other activities (growth, specilalized functions)
• Chromosomes (we have 46 of them) appear as threadlike coils
(chromatin) at the start, the chromatin is copied (duplicated – so
there are 92) to prepare for cell division
• Other organelles are also copied
• Centrioles are copied

Prophase
• Chromatin thickens/condenses into chromosomes
• Each chromosome (because it was copied already) consists of 2 identical
stands called sister chromatid
• These are held together by a centrometre
• The nuclear membrane dissolves
• Centrioles (or poles) begin to move to opposite end of the cell.
• Spindle fibers form between the poles.

Metaphase
• Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) attach to the
spindle fibers.
• Chromosomes line up in the middle plane of the cell

Anaphase
• Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) separate and
begin to move to opposite ends of the cell by being
pulled by the spindle fibers contracting to the
centrioles
• The split sister chromatids are called daughter
chromosomes

Telophase
• Two new nuclei (nuclear membranes) form around
the daughter chromosomes.
• Chromosomes appear as chromatin (threads rather
than rods).
• Mitosis ends.

Cytokinesis
occurs after mitosis
• Cell membrane moves inward (is pinched) to create
two daughter cells – each with its own nucleus with
identical chromosomes in an animal cell
• In a plant cell, a new cell wall forms and divides into
two daughter cells.
