MITOSIS

Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides once into two identical daughter cells (cell division). The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells.

PARTS OF MITOSIS:

It has 4 parts, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Prophase: The chromosomes condense into X-shaped structures that can be easily seen under a microscope.

Metaphase: The chromosomes line up neatly end-to-end along the centre of the cell.

Anaphase: The sister chromatids are then pulled apart by the spindle fibers. Each spindle fiber pulls one chromatid towards the opposite poles.

Telophase: At each pole of the cell a full set of chromosomes gather together. Membrane surrounds each pair forming a new cell
