decreases during the stage of mitosis...at which point specifically? Telophase?:grumpy:
Mitosis at telophase is the final stage of mitosis, the process by which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It is characterized by the separation of the duplicated genetic material into two nuclei, and the formation of a cleavage furrow or cell wall that divides the cell into two.
Cells decrease in size during mitosis at telophase because the genetic material has been divided into two nuclei, and the cytoplasm of the parent cell is being divided between the two new daughter cells. This results in a decrease in overall cell volume.
The purpose of decreasing cells during mitosis at telophase is to ensure that each new daughter cell receives an equal amount of genetic material and cellular components. This ensures that both daughter cells are genetically identical and function properly.
The cell wall or cleavage furrow forms during mitosis at telophase through a process called cytokinesis. Cytokinesis is the physical division of the cytoplasm and cell membrane that separates the two new daughter cells. In animal cells, a cleavage furrow forms and contracts to divide the cell, while in plant cells, a new cell wall is formed between the two daughter cells.
After mitosis at telophase is complete, the two new daughter cells enter the interphase stage of the cell cycle. During this stage, the cells grow and duplicate their genetic material in preparation for the next round of cell division. The cells will continue to go through the stages of the cell cycle until they reach mitosis at telophase once again.
