Mitosis mechanism and processes Angela Salazar

Submitted by angelasalaza on Wed, 09/12/2018 - 17:33

Mitosis is a universal mechanism it replicates cells to assist asexual reproduction, growth replication, and tissue regeneration. The division of cells occurs in stages transitioning to the final stage of two new nucleic cells. Mitosis involves four processes to create new cells prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The processes begin with a single cell's chromosomes condensing and forming pairs at the center of each chromosome as this occurs the cell begins to form the mitotic spindle pulling the chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell wall. The separation involves the original cell forming a cleavage down the middle of its cell body resulting in a split and forming two new nuclei cells with equal amounts of DNA and identical replicates of the original cell.

The information here looks correct and concise, but you have some issues with parsing your sentences. A couple of your sentences are a bit long and ramble-y, and you also have sentences that could use some punctuation. For example, your fist sentence could use some punctuation between its clauses, "mitosis is a universal mechanism," and "it replicates cells ...". 

As suggested above, create more clauses through punctuation or start alotgether new sentences. There are many places where you could insert a period, colon, or comma for clarity.  Eg. "The processes begin with a single cell's chromosomes condensing and forming pairs at the center of each chromosome. As this occurs, the cell begins to form the mitotic spindle, pulling the chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell wall." Otherwise, very good content!

The content of your paragraph looks good. However, I would make sure you proofread your work. You have a lot of run on sentences and thoughts that jump around. Adding the proper punctuation and reading the paragraph outloud may help. 

In your sentence " Mitosis involves four processes to create new cells prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase" I noticed that it jumped right into naming them which was a little confusing. I think the sentence needs a colon before you start introducing them (not 100% sure if that's the way to format it)

Found this website that talks about it a little:
