How Protein Synthesis is involvedThis is how protein synthesis occurs within stem cells and demonstrates how protein synthesis is very important
Mitosis A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth. Stage 1: Prior to mitosis, each chromosome makes an exact replica of itself. The chromosomes then thicken and coil. Stage 2: In prophase, the centrioles, which divided, move apart. The nuclear membrane begins to disintegrate. The centrioles and asters are at the different poles, while the nucleolus and the nuclear membrane almost disappear. Stage 3: In metaphase the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Stage 4: Anaphase occurs when the centromeres split and go to opposite ends of the cell. Stage 5: In telophase the nuclear membrane starts to form around the split chromosomes. Stage 6: Finally, mitosis is complete, and now there are two exact copies of new cells called daughter cells. |
