mitosis - cell division --> growth/increase in number of cells
Outline of process:
- begin with cell - with nucleus.
- number of chromosomes in the nucleus - diploid number (2n)
- for humans 2n = 46
- for cats 2n = 38
- mitosis - cell divides into two cells, each with nucleus, each cell has a diploid nucleus - these cells are identical/daughter cells
- identical because 1. Same number of chromosomes. 2. same set of chromosomes
