Key Stage 3

Meaning

Cell Division is when a cell splits into two smaller, identical, cells.

Key Stage 4

Meaning

Mitosis is the process of asexual reproduction where a parent cell splits into two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent.

About Mitosis

Mitosis is how unicellular organisms reproduce.
Multicellular organisms grow by cells performing mitosis.
The 2 daughter cells are genetically identical to each other.
During mitosis the nucleus divides into two separate nuclei.
