Once mitosis (division of the nucleus) is done, the process of cytokinesis splits the cell itself into 2. Cytokinesis- How is cytokinesis different in plant v. animal cells? Once cytokinesis is done, there are 2 new cells that will each now be in their own interphase. **Did you know?? How is Cancer related to cell division? What is a mutation? What are some things that can cause those mutations that cause cancer?

Mitosis is the process by which a cell, which has previously replicated each of its chromosomes, separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets of chromosomes, each set in its own new nucleus. It is a form of nuclear division. It is generally followed immediately by cytokinesis, which divides the nuclei, cytoplasm, organelles, and cell membrane into two cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components.[1] Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle—the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells, genetically identical to each other and to their parent cell. This accounts for approximately 10% of the cell cycle. Note that, in situations where the process of replicating the chromosomes, or any subsequent step, generates differences between the two otherwise identical sets of chromosomes, the two daughter cells will not be genetically identical. Mitosis occurs only in eukaryotic cells and the process varies in different species. For example, animals undergo an "open" mitosis, where the nuclear envelope breaks down before the chromosomes separate, while fungi such as Aspergillus nidulans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) undergo a "closed" mitosis, where chromosomes divide within an intact cell nucleus.[2] Prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus, divide by a process called binary fission. The process of mitosis is fast and highly complex. The sequence of events is divided into stages corresponding to the completion of one set of activities and the start of the next. These stages are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During mitosis the pairs of chromatids condense and attach to fibers that pull the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell. The cell then divides in cytokinesis, to produce two daughter cells.[3] Because cytokinesis often occurs in conjunction with mitosis, "mitosis" is often used interchangeably with "mitotic phase". However, there are many cells where mitosis and cytokinesis occur separately, forming single cells with multiple nuclei. This occurs most notably among the fungi and slime molds, but is found in various groups. Even in animals, cytokinesis and mitosis may occur independently, for instance during certain stages of fruit fly embryonic development.[4] Errors in mitosis can either kill a cell through apoptosis or cause mutations. Certain types of cancer can arise from such mutations.

does that help?? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you make it a lil shorter :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are you looking 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i can know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those 4 questions on top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok...let me get back with you later on that, i have something 2 do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But i will help u with it... :)
