Mitosis is composed of 5 steps:

1)prophase

2) metaphase

3) anaphase

4) telophase

5) cytokinesis

Beginning from prophase, the nuclear envelope and nucleolus begin to dissolve and the spindle fibers start to form. In metaphase, the chromosomes form a line down the middle of the chromosome and the fully formed spindle fibers attach to the kinetochore, which are in turn attached to the centromere which is holding the sister chromatids ,which make up the chromosome, together. During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart and the centromere ruptures. Each chromatid is pulled to a pole on the opposite side of the cell. Telophase is simply prophase in reverse. The nucleolus is reformed, one around each chromatid, as well as the nuclear envelope and the spindle fibers begin to dissolve. Lastly, cytokinesis is the physical separation of the cell into two daughter cells,

Does bacteria perform mitosis?

No, bacteria do not perform mitosis. They reproduce through a process called binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells, not in prokaryotic cells like bacteria.

Mitosis is to body cells as meiosis is to?

Germ cells. Somatic cells perform mitosis to get genetically identical daughter cells, and germ cells perform meiosis to get genetically different cells. In gametophytes, it's known as generative cells.


Which would a liver cell perform- mitosis or meiosis?

A liver cell would perform mitosis, not meiosis. Mitosis is the process by which somatic (body) cells divide to produce two genetically identical daughter cells, which is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues. Meiosis, on the other hand, occurs only in germ cells to produce gametes (sperm and eggs) and involves two rounds of division, resulting in four genetically diverse cells.
