About the lecture

In the first mini-lecture, we discuss mitosis, as brought up in topics 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 of the Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9-1) Biology specification. We describe mitosis as part of the cell cycle, including the stages interphase, prophase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis, and the importance of mitosis in growth, repair and asexual reproduction. Cellular division by mitosis is then described as the production of two daughter cells, each with identical sets of chromosomes in the nucleus to the parent cell, and that this results in the formation of two genetically identical diploid body cells.
