Why is it important for the nuclear membrane to be broken down during mitosis?

The nuclear membrane breaks down during prophase, while the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
The nuclear membrane must break down to allow the chromosomes to be pulled apart and away from the area of the former nucleus towards the pole where the daughter cell will be formed. If the nuclear membrane did not break down the spindle fibers would not be able to reach the chromosomes and they would not be moved towards opposite poles of the cell.

∙ 9y agoThe nuclear membrane degrades in the part of mitosis called the "prometaphase". It is important because in the process of cytokinesis (nucleus division) the new nucleus has to burst out of the parent nucleus. The disintegration of the nuclear membrane makes sure that the new nucleus will come out smoothly and easily. If the nuclear membrane didn't disintegrate, the new nucleus would burst from the parent nucleus and therefore will damage the cell.

How is a broken arm repaired?
Upper and lower arms may be broken. Treatment is roughly similar. There are several degrees of broken arm ranging from greenstick fracture where the bone is only partly broken through compound fractures where several bones are broken o a bone is broken into several pieces, to a broken bone which pierces the skin. In all cases it is necessary to align the broken sections back to a close approximation of their original orientation. The doctor must also ensure that any cut or torn blood vessels are repaired. Sometimes muscles are severed and must be surgically repaired. The more serious fractures may require plates and screws to be inserted into the bone to hold it in position. The arm is immobilized with a sling, cast or by pins piercing the flesh into the bone and bolted into position. Healing takes place naturally with new bone growth between the broken sections. This takes several weeks
Besides the nucleus what else is broken down during prophase?

What is a period of nuclear division in a cell?
mitosis broken into 4 parts prophase metaphase anaphase and telophase
What part of the cell must be broken down to extract DNA?
In a eukaryote cell the double walled nuclear membrane must be broken, or pierced to release the DNA into the cytoplasm and then the phospholipid bilayer would have to be breached next to release the DNA from this type cell A prokaryote cell would need both its cell wall and its plasma membrane breached to release the DNA from the cell.
How do starfish use mitosis?
Starfish have the ability to regenerate broken arms. This is done through mitosis
What is the nuclear membrane and what does it do?
The nuclear membrane is a double membrane surrounding the chromosomes of a eukaryotic cell.Together with associated structures, it is called the nuclear envelope. Perforations in the double membrane are termed pores; each is surrounded by a group of proteins collectively called the nuclear pore complex.The nuclear membrane defines the limit of the organelle called the nucleus. The membrane is broken into fragments during the first phase (prophase) of nuclear division. The fragments travel through the endoplasmic reticulum to the poles of the dividing cell, and are used to form the nuclear membranes of the daughter-cells.The pores permit large molecules to enter and leave the nucleus. For example, after transcription messenger RNA passes through a pore on its way to the cytoplasm for translation. And proteins synthesized in the cytoplasm enter the nucleus via pores before being incorporated in ribosome subunits being assembled in the nucleolus. These subunits subsequently leave the nucleus through the pores.

Why are bacteria unable to undergo mitosis?
Usually, only eukaryotes, such as the human cell, go through mitosis, and because most bacteria, prokaryotes, are single celled organisms, there's usually no need to go through all the complexities of mitosis, when they could just split and reform itself into its own duplicate.
