Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It has five main steps: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and cytokinesis. During prophase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes. Then during prometaphase and metaphase, the nuclear envelope breaks down and spindle fibers form to align the chromosomes in the center of the cell. In anaphase, the chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell. Finally, in cytokinesis, the cell cytoplasm divides forming two identical daughter cells each with the same number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.

2.  Mitosis is the process that facilitates the equal
partitioning of replicated chromosomes into
two identical groups. There are many steps that
the cell goes through.
 Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase,
anaphase, and cytokinesis are those steps.

3.  In prophase, the chromatin condenses into
discrete chromosomes. After the nuclear
envelope breaks then spindle fibers start to
form at opposite poles of the cell

4.  During prometaphase, the nuclear envelope
fragments and the spindle microtubules are
able to reach the chromosomes.

5.  The spindle fibers fully develop and align the
chromosomes along the metaphase plate.

6.  Daughter chromatins move away from each
other to opposite ends of the cell.

7.  The division of the cells cytoplasm following
meiotic division of the nucleus.

8.  Each parent gives some chromosomes they
meet up and form one cell. That cell will the
split. Those cells a mixture of mom genes and
dad genes. Those cells will split again forming
4 zygote cells. Then those cells can go into
sexual reproduction and help form an offspring
with a mixture of genes from both parents.

9.  The only difference between meiosis and
mitosis is that in interphase of meiosis the
chromosomes will do whats called crossing
over and this creates genetic varation.
