Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cell division is the process whereby a parent cell finish up into two daughter cells. they are two types of cell division

  • mitosis
  • meiosis

mitosis is a process whereby a parent cell finish up and produces two daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes

stages of mitosis

  • Interphase: In this stage , nothing really happens in the cell, resting stage of the cell
  • prophase: in this stage , the chromatins condenses into chromosomes

, the nuclear membrane disappear and the spindle fibre radiates

  • metaphase: in this stage , the chromosomes align in the middle and meet at the equator
  • anaphase: the chromosomes split at the centromere and move to the opposite poles
  • telophase: the cell splits, and the spindle fibre disappears
  • cytokinesis: the cell produces two daughter cells
