The process of mitosis is the process of cell division (the stages of which are explained below).

------------------------------------------

There are various structures within the cell, but many are too difficult to see. For example, within the nucleus lie the chromosomes. These are important for heredity and reproduction. When a cell splits and becomes two, certain processes occur within the nucleus first. One of these processes involves the splitting of the chromosomes. This process is called Mitosis and there are four distinct stages. INTERPHASE The DNA has replicated and remains as loosely coiled chromatin PROPHASE The DNA molecules shorten and condense to form chromosomes. The nuclear membrane and nucleolus are no longer visible. METAPHASE The spindle fibres attach themselves to the centromere of the chromosomes and align the chromosomes at the equatorial plate. ANAPHASE The spindle fibres shorten as the centromeres split. The sister chromatids are pulled along the centromeres. TELOPHASE The chromosomes reach the poles of their respective spindles. The nuclear envelope reforms before the chromosomes uncoil and the spindle fibres disintegrate. CYTOKINESIS This is the last stage of mitosis. It is the process of splitting daughter cells apart. A furrow forms and the cell is pinched into two. Each daughter cell contains the same number and quality of chromosomes.
