Mitosis is the process of cell division where a parent cell divides into two daughter cells that are genetically identical. It occurs in four main phases: prophase where chromosomes condense and centrioles separate, metaphase where chromosomes align in the center of the cell, anaphase where chromatids are pulled apart by spindle fibers, and telophase where cytokinesis completes the division of the cell into two identical daughter cells.
