Mitosis

Grade Learning Objective Learning Outcome

7/8 To identify and Be able to describe, simply, what happens during


describe the prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telephase
different stages of
5/6 mitosis To be able to identify simple diagrams
representing stages of mitosis

Starter:
1. What would we find in the nucleus Keywords
of a cell?
Prophase
2. Why do cells need to divide? Metaphase
3. What could go wrong when cells Anaphase
don’t’ divide properly? Telephase
Mitosis is a type of cell division!
We need mitosis to happen for a number of reasons,
most importantly we need Mitosis for:

• Growth
• Repair
Task: Complete the questions as we watch the video

1. What is mitosis?

2. Why is mitosis important?

3. What is mitosis not good for?

4. Are cells dividing all the time?

5. What does the nucleus hold?

6. What is your DNA organised into?

7. How many chromosomes does a human cell hold?

8. What does PMAT stand for?

2. Why is mitosis important? Growth & repair


Mitosis does not make sperm or egg cells, that is a
3. What is mitosis not good for? process called meiosis
No, they do not divide all of the time. Otherwise this
4. Are cells dividing all the time? might lead to uncontrollable cell division, this can
lead to cancer.
5. What does the nucleus hold?
DNA

6. What is your DNA organised into? Chromosomes

7. How many chromosomes does a human cell hold?


46 – 23 pairs of chromosomes

Task: Match the correct statement to the
correct diagram to show the stages during
mitosis and put them in the correct order

The chromosomes have become visible

The new cell membranes form and two


new cells have been made

The chromosomes are arranged in the


middle of cell

The chromosomes now form into two


new nuclei

The cells prepare to divide, you cannot


see the chromosomes at this stage

The identical copies of each


chromosome split apart moving to
opposites ends of the cell

Self-assessment
Exam-style question
1. How many pairs of chromosomes are there in a normal body cell
of a human? (1 mark)

2. Explain how the following processes are part of a baby’s normal


growth.

a) Cell enlargement (1 mark)

b) Mitosis (3
marks)
Self-assessment:
1. 23 pairs of chromosomes (do no except 46)

2. a) Any one from:

• Cells grow to take up space


• Cells have to get bigger in order to divide (carry
out mitosis)

b) Chromosomes duplicate/copy themselves


Nuclei divide / chromosomes separate
Two new identical (daughter) cells are formed
