Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Mitosis is a type of cell division that is important for growth and repair of body cells, but it does not produce sperm or egg cells.
- •
Before mitosis begins, the cell duplicates its DNA during interphase so that each new cell will have the same genetic information.
- •
The four stages of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, which can be remembered using the acronym PMAT.
