3.24a Mitosis

3.24 Understand that division of diploid cell by mitosis produces two cells which contain identical sets of chromosomes.




  • Mitosis is a form of cell division which results in growth and the growth occurs by an increase in the number of cells.
  • The number of chromosomes in the nucleus is known as the diploid - 2n. 2n = 46
  • Each of the diploid cells has a nucleus. Often say that the cells are identical / daughter.
  • They are identical because, they have the same number of chromosomes and because they have the same set of chromosome.
