The document summarizes the process of cell division in eukaryotic cells. It explains that DNA must be replicated before cell division so that each new cell contains a complete copy of the DNA. The cell then undergoes mitosis, where the nucleus and its chromosomes are divided into two identical copies to form two new daughter cells each with the same genetic material as the original parent cell. Key stages of mitosis including prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase are described.
