Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent cell. It involves several phases: prophase where chromosomes condense; metaphase where chromosomes align; anaphase where chromatids separate and move to opposite poles; and telophase where nuclear envelopes form and the cell divides through cytokinesis. Cytokinesis involves either formation of a cleavage furrow in animal cells or a cell plate in plant cells to divide the cell cytoplasm. Mitosis is important for growth, replacement of damaged cells, and maintenance of chromosome number.

1. MITOSIS

2. MITOSIS
Mitosis is a type of cell division
that results in two daughter cells
each having the same number and
kind of chromosomes as the parent
nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue
growth.

4. PROPHASE
Chromosomal material condense to form
compact mitotic chromosomes.
Initiation of the assembly of mitotic spindle,
and the microtubule,

5. METAPHASE
Spindle fiber's attach to kinetochores of
chromosomes.
Chromosomes are moved to spindle equator
and get aligned along metaphase plate
through spindle fibres to both poles.

6. ANAPHASE
Centromeres split and chromatids separate.
Chromatids move opposite poles.

7. TELOPHASE
 Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles
and their identity is lost as discrete elements.
 Nuclear envelope assembles around the
chromosome cluster.
 Nucleolus, Golgi complex are reform.

8. CYTOKINESIS
Mitosis accomplish not only
the segregation of duplicated
chromosomes into daughter nuclei
(kariokinesis), but the cell itself is
divided into daughter cells by the
separation of cytoplasm, the process is
called cytokinesis at the end of which
cell division is complete.

9. CYTOKINESIS IN ANIMAL CELL
 In animal cell cytokinesis is
done the appearance of a
furrow in he plasma
membrane. The furrow
gradually disappear and
ultimately joins in the center
dividing the cell cytoplasm into
two.

12. CYTOKINESIS IN
PLANT TISSUE
 Plant cell build a cell membrane
and cell wall at the center of the
dividing cell. This structure is called
cell plate. Which grows outward to
the existing lateral cell wall.

14. SIGNIFICANCE OF MITOSIS
1. Mitosis involves division of a parent cell into two
daughter cells with identical genetic material.
2. Growth of multicellular organisms are due to
mitosis.
3. Mitosis provides healthy cells for replacement of
cells that have become worm out or damaged.
4. Mitosis maintain the chromosome number of all
cells in the body constant.
5. It is the basis of asexual reproduction in lower
organisms like Amoeba.
