Here are the stages of plant cell mitosis, labeled:
1. Prophase
2. Prometaphase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
6. Cytokinesis
Mitosis is a process of cell division that occurs in somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) and results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This type of cell division is essential for growth, development, and the replacement of damaged or worn-out cells in multicellular organisms.
The cell prepares for division by growing, carrying out normal metabolic activities, and duplicating its DNA. Interphase is further divided into three subphases: G1 (cell growth), S (DNA synthesis), and G2 (preparation for mitosis).
