What is mitosis?

Mitosis is a form of cell division.Mitosis is used to create 2 new cells, genetically identical to each other and to the 'parent' cell. These cells are for things like growthIn mitosis the 'parent' cell has x number of chromosomes justlike every other cell in our body (not including gametes), they duplicate theirchromosomes to have 2x (AKA Synthesis). Then after a phase of growth, thenucleolus disappears and the chromatin condenses into chromosomes (Prophase).The chromosomes then line the chromosomes up along the equator of the cell, beingattached to the poles of the cell with dynamic proteins called microtubules(AKA Metaphase). The chromosomes are then split apart at the middle of thechromosome (AKA centromere) and pulled to their respective pole of the cell bythe microtubules (Anaphase). Two nucleolus start to form around the clusters ofchromosomes at each end of the cell as the chromosomes unwind into chromatin(Telophase). At the centre of the cell cytokinesis occurs: splitting the cellinto 2 new separate daughter cells by the contracting activity of actin andmyosin at what is known as the cleavage furrow.Mitosis is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase.
