Amoeba Sisters Video Recap of Mitosis: The Amazing Cell Process That Uses Division to Multiply

1. Mitosis is done by your bodycells. What types of cells do notundergo mitosis?

2. Describe 2 ways that mitosis isimportant for your body.

3. This illustration is trying todemonstrate something thatmitosis is not. In mitosis, thecells that are createdare

4. Mitosis is just one small part ofthe cell cycle! Describe whatwould occur if cells were inmitosis more than they were ininterphase.

5. When cells are dividing, it isimportant to understand thatthey have to movechromosomes equally to bothcells. Based on this illustration,describe what a chromosome ismade of.

6. Mitosis starts and ends withdiploid cells. That means theyhave two sets of chromosomes(both parents each contribute aset). In humans, how manychromosomes should be in eachof these diploid cells aftermitosis?

Sketch the Mitotic Stages

Directions: We encourage you to be creative with a cartoon illustration of your own for each phase. Label the chromosomes,

spindles, and nucleus (if applicable).
