Mitosis is different from cell division because when mitosis happens, the two cells are identical.

Sarah M said...

Mitosis is different from cell division by mitosis has two identical nucleus.

mitosis is deferent from a cell division because the cells are identical.

How is mitosis different from cell division?

mitosis: The process in witch the nucleus divides to form nuclei.

cell division: 2 cells become 4cells. 4 cells become 8........

Mitosis and cell division is different because when mitosis happens, the two cells are identical.

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, and cell division divides the cell.

i can't remember but i know it has something to do with a sexual repruduction

Mitosis and cell division are two different things. Mitosis creates two IDENTICAL cells by dividing the nuclues and cell division creates two DIFFERENT cells by dividing the cytoplasm.

Mitosis is different from cell division because mitosis is the process in which the nucleus divides from the nuclei and cell division includes mitosis and the division of the cytoplasm and its contents.

Jasmine Mason said...

It's different cause' in mitosis has the same nucleus and nothing else and cell division has everything divided in 2.

Mitosis is different from cell division because MItosis is the division of the nucleus. Then, the nucleus divides into
two nuclei. Cell division includes mitosis and the division of the cytoplasm and is contents. That is the difference between mitosis and cell division.

mitosis is the division of the nucleus.cell division is when the division of cytoplasm and its contents.

Mitosis is different from cell division by mitosis use nucleus and cell division has cytoplasm.

cell division is the division of cytoplasm and its contents . and Mitosis is the division of a nuecleus .

Mitosis is division of the nucleus, and cell division is division of the cytoplasm and its contents.

Tracie T;) said...

Mitosis is the nucleous,and the cell divison divides the cell.

Lacey A said...

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus. Cell Division includes Mitosis and the division of the cytoplasm and it's contents.

Camille D said...

mitosis is the division of the nucleus and cell division is the division of the cytoplasm and it's contents, and it includes mitosis.

When cells divide, they undergo mitosis. Mitosis is the actual stages that a cell takes to divide. This applies to most cells (sex cells, egg and sperm, undergo meiosis)

1.Mitosis is the process by which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets, in two separate nuclei. It is generally followed immediately by cytokinesis, which divides the nuclei, cytoplasm, organelles and cell membrane into two cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle—the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells, genetically identical to each other and to their parent cell. This accounts for approximately 10% of the cell cycle.

Mitosis occurs only in eukaryotic cells and the process varies in different species. For example, animals undergo an "open" mitosis, where the nuclear envelope breaks down before the chromosomes separate, while fungi such as Aspergillus nidulans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) undergo a "closed" mitosis, where chromosomes divide within an intact cell nucleus. Prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus, divide by a process called binary fission.

The process of mitosis is fast and highly complex. The sequence of events is divided into stages corresponding to the completion of one set of activities and the start of the next. These stages are interphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During mitosis the pairs of chromatids condense and attach to fibers that pull the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell. The cell then divides in cytokinesis, to produce two identical daughter cells which are still diploid cells.

Because cytokinesis usually occurs in conjunction with mitosis, "mitosis" is often used interchangeably with "mitotic phase". However, there are many cells where mitosis and cytokinesis occur separately, forming single cells with multiple nuclei. This occurs most notably among the fungi and slime moulds, but is found in various groups. Even in animals, cytokinesis and mitosis may occur independently, for instance during certain stages of fruit fly embryonic development. Errors in mitosis can either kill a cell through apoptosis or cause mutations that may lead to certain types of cancer.
2.Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. Cell division is usually a small segment of a larger cell cycle. This type of cell division in eukaryotes is known as mitosis, and leaves the daughter cell capable of dividing again. The corresponding sort of cell division in prokaryotes is known as binary fission. In another type of cell division present only in eukaryotes, called meiosis, a cell is permanently transformed into a gamete and may not divide again until fertilization. Right before the parent cell splits, it undergoes DNA replication.

For simple unicellular organisms such as the amoeba, one cell division is equivalent to reproduction-- an entire new organism is created. On a larger scale, mitotic cell division can create progeny from multicellular organisms, such as plants that grow from cuttings. Cell division also enables sexually reproducing organisms to develop from the one-celled zygote, which itself was produced by cell division from gametes. And after growth, cell division allows for continual construction and repair of the organism. A human being's body experiences about 10,000 trillion cell divisions in a lifetime.

The primary concern of cell division is the maintenance of the original cell's genome. Before division can occur, the genomic information which is stored in chromosomes must be replicated, and the duplicated genome separated cleanly between cells. A great deal of cellular infrastructure is involved in keeping genomic information consistent between "generations".

And please don't accuse me of copying & pasting please and thank you!

Aaron R said...

they are different because mitosis is the division of the nucleos and cell divition is the cytoplasm and organells.

Ian C. said...

The difference between mitosis and cell division is that mitosis is the devision of the nucleus, cell division is the division of the entire cell.

is the division of the nucleus is mitosis and cell division is mitosis and the division of the cytoplasm and its contents.

Mitosis is division of the nucleus. While, cell division is mitosis and the division of the cytoplasm and its contents.

Mitosis is division of nucleus. cell division is the of other stuff in the cell

please take your selfish comments off my post & you should worry about yourself than worry about me & you don't need to give me lecture because your NOT MY MOTHER,MY PARENT OR A ADULT!

ACT YOUR AGE!!!!!!!!!! please and thank you

will's is fine because he isn't accusing me
