Mitosis is defined as the cell division in where a diploid body cell copies itself and finally divides into two identical diploid daughter cells . The daughter cells are clones of each other.
What are the stages of mitosis?
There are four stages of mitosis namely prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
1) Prophase is first phase in which chromatin into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope break down, chromosomes attach to spindle fibres by their centromeres.
2) Metaphase is 2nd stage where chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate (centre of the cell).
3) Anaphase is the main 3rd stage where sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell.
4) Telophase is last stage where nuclear envelope reforms, chromosomes unfold into chromatin, cytokinesis can begin.
Mitosis during which the cell makes preparations for and completes cell division only takes about 2 hours.
