### Mitosis

- PMAT (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase)
+- Division of the nucleus
+| Phase | Diagram | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| Prophase | | - Chromatin condenses into two identical `sister chromatids` which condense into `chromosomes`
- Happens to 23 pairs of chromosomes
- Nuclear membrane dissolves
- Centrosomes move to opposite ends (`poles`) of cell, creating `spindle fibres` that begin to attach to `centromeres` in animal cells |
+| Metaphase | | - Chromosomes line up in centre of cell to ensure they divide evenly
- Everything in prophase has completed (e.g., nuclear membrane has dissolved completely) |
+| Anaphase | | - Centromeres split, separating sister chromatids
- Sister chromatids are pulled towards opposite sides of cell via shortening spindle fibres
- Sister chromatids are now called `daughter chromomsomes` |
+| Telophase | | - Effectively opposite of prophase
- Nuclear membranes form across each of the two new nuclei
- Daughter chromosomes unwind into chromatin and are no longer visible
- Nucleolus forms in each nucleus
- Spindle fibres break apart
- **Cytokinesis** usually begins in telophase
- Cells starts to **cleave** (cell centre starts to pinch itself) |
+
+### Cytokinesis
+ - Cell division
+ - Cell splits completely to two daughter cells
+ - In **animal cells**: Cell membrane pulled inward by cytoskeleton
+ - **"Pinches in"** along equator of cell, forming **"cleavage furrow"**
+ - In **plant cells**: Golgi apparatus produces and sends vesicles to centre of plant cell **"cell plate"** to make new cell wall and membrane between daughter cells
## Cell Specialization
-- `Zygote`: A one-celled organism formed from the fertilization of an egg by a sperm cell
+- `Zygote`: A single-celled organism formed from the fertilization of an egg by a sperm cell, is a totipotent stem cell
- A cell's position in the `gastrula` (outer, middle, inner layer) will determine the fate of the cell, or its potiental.
+- Chemical signals from other cells will also determine activated genes that lead to specialisation
- (LOCATION LOCATION LOCAION!)
+- Specialisation is determined by reading only certain genes
### Stem Cells
- They are an **unspecialized** cell that has the potential to become one of several types of cells.
-- After cell division, either both can become stem cells or one stays as a stem cell and the other becomes a specialized cell
