Cell Cycle and Mitosis (Part 2)

Biology

Cytokinesis in animal cell

The plasma membrane is constricted between two nuclei. The microfilaments at the point of the constriction will contract, causing the cell to constrict until it splits to form two daughter cells

Cytokinesis in plant cell

Begins when the formed vesicles combine to form cell plates at the centre of the cell

Cell cycle

Consists of interphase and M phase

The necessity of mitosis for living organisms (1)

For embryo development and organism growth, mitosis ensures that rapid cell growth occurs

The necessity of mitosis for living organisms (2)

Through the mitosis process, the lizard is able to grow a new tail (regeneration) if the tail breaks

The necessity of mitosis for living organisms (3)

When the body is injured, mitosis will produce new cells to replace cells that are dead or damaged

The necessity of mitosis for living organisms (4)

Mitosis aids organisms such as hydra to produce new individuals through the formation of new buds

The application of mitosis in the fields of medicine and agriculture (1)

Stem cell therapy uses stem cells from bone marrows to treat damaged cartilage

The application of mitosis in the fields of medicine and agriculture (2)

The culturing technique uses stem cells from animals which are then cultured in laboratories to produce meat

The application of mitosis in the fields of medicine and agriculture (3)

In agriculture, the technique of culturing plant tissues is used to produce young plants through the culturing of parent cells without going through the fertilisation process
