Mitosis: How One Cell Becomes Two
Professor Dave Explains
Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Mitosis is the process of cell division, resulting in two identical cells, each with the full genetic information.
- •
The five phases of mitosis are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, followed by cytokinesis.
- •
During anaphase, the enzyme separase cleaves the cohesins, separating the sister chromatids and creating two sets of the genome.
