What is Mitosis? | Genetics | Biology | FuseSchool

Mitosis produces identical copies of cells, and is involved in growth, cell repair and asexual reproduction - which is how simple organisms reproduce. When cells divide by mitosis, two new cells form and each cell is identical to one another and also the parent cell. This means that the number of cells increases, and hence the organism grows.
In this video we will look at the general process involved:
1) The DNA is replicated to give two identical chromatids joined at the centromere
2) The chromosomes attach to spindle fibres and line up at the equator
3) The fibres shorten and pull the chromosomes apart, separating at the centromere
4) The cell membrane pinches in, dividing the cell into two to produce two identical daughter cells.

Never thought I would understand something from biology so well.

[@nataliereitmeyer]

I have been struggling with the cell division unit for months now and your videos really helped me with it. This helps clear up the basics so much and is very straight forward. Thank you!

[@fuseschool]

So glad to hear that! You are most welcome!

[@emmafield5607]

What did one cell say to his sister cell that stepped on his toe??
Mitosis

[@fuseschool]

This made us laugh. Thank you!!!

[@rainny3410]

🤦‍♀️😂

[@kanish5543]

mytoesis

[@sasukeuchiha1426]

Omg😂

[@mr.granss2257]

I thought your were gona call me on my Cell phone🤪🤪🤯.

[@SubIfYouAreAgainstSocialism]

Thanks for being
open-handed. You're furnishing education freely plus, burnishing it.

[@deadofwrite6312]

learning about this i school rn , might as well think i’d try and learn more as i’m super interested in this topic atm :)!!

[@ankithaarvind]

Thank you.....very simple now to learn

[@samarthhiraskar2358]

Very good and innovative easy to understand

[@harveygrant5979]

Thanks for the help

[@vekaamamureti6557]

Loving the video very nice

[@pbsciencetacular7688]

Thank you for a very good, easy to understand video. Also, I like the background music. Can you make a video on meiosis?

[@fuseschool]

Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/5pvwIsDE6eg/v-deo.html

[@ibnramli9858]

I like it very much from Malaysia

[@shuruqanwar6579]

This channel is great 👍🏻 Keep it up 🙂 Very helpfull 😃

[@fuseschool]

Thank you :)

[@praisejack9615]

Thank you soo much this made the topic easier to understand

[@fuseschool]

Glad it helped!

[@siennadeo9006]

Amazing video. Very easy to understand!

[@fuseschool]

Glad to hear that!

[@aljoulak324]

a very informativ video

[@insertgamerhere2121]

now i can complete my home schooling work thx fuseschool

[@fuseschool]

Most welcome!

[@kinzaarif8053]

good video

[@asheditzz27]

this video is wonerful ,but i request to you to make vidos on organ systema and as wll as on

[@Bruce_Lee777]

very educational :)

[@sindhuakash7830]

What is the job of perroxosome

[@drd6482]

What about negative mutations?

[@tanmaynishank3967]

Can you tell which animation app you use. The video was informative

[@fuseschool]

Thanks! We use After Effects.

[@ewansupreme6934]

Logan you are my hero

[@ayananwar7809]

Superb explanations

[@fuseschool]

Thank you 🙂

[@cyain]

There is a very nice amount of comments on this video

[@drd6482]

Cool video #quickpause

[@paulinebeis3817]

There is a big mistake. One bichromatidian chromosome carries the same allele because it is composed of sister chromatids. Two chromosoms of a pair can carry different alleles.

[@rannymae1523]

How does mitosis promote genetic constancy?

[@dhruvgupta18]

A bit unclear on what a chromosome actually is? How is it different from the chromatid?

[@fuseschool]

Check this video: ua-cam.com/video/Bgpq5ablvio/v-deo.html

[@asheditzz27]

video on kingdom

[@stefepedia]

Can u so meiosis !!

[@sledgy6911]

Stephanie Liew can you speak English

[@fuseschool]

Meiosis: ua-cam.com/video/5pvwIsDE6eg/v-deo.html

[@021muneeburrehman7]

Same thing explained by detail in"' free animated education' channel

[@OnlyNo1Videos]

Nice

[@fuseschool]

Thanks

[@CharisseW]

ayeeeeee

[@dermotgray4759]

anyone hear the "Logan you are my hero" song in the background?

[@zcgamerandreacts2762]

I just searched this up because a jester said it in a game. Now I know why.

[@clarahowson2911]

What if we googled mitosis and were brought to this video?

[@fuseschool]

Awesome!

[@hannahk5433]

What about the phases🤤🤤

[@fuseschool]

Here you go - ua-cam.com/video/RNwJbMovnVQ/v-deo.html
This video has the phases included.

[@aaronqiu6228]

very edgy :0

[@anasahsan6358]

the video is good but the audio is bloody horrible
