Why is it important for the nuclear membrane to disinegrate during mitosis?
The 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.
