Mitosis is the process of separating chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets in two nuclei within eukaryotic cells. As for when it takes place, I believe it starts after the G2(second gap) stage of Interphase ends.

What would happen if our cells did not go through mitosis?

We would probably be in a lot of trouble if we didn't have mitosis! In fact, we probably wouldn't exist at all. From the time an egg is fertilized by a sperm, mitosis starts to happen. And in our daily lives, skin cells, stomach cells, hair cells, bone cells, and other tissue cells are undergoing mitosis!


Do crossovers usually occur during mitosis?

No, crossovers do not occur during mitosis. Crossovers, also known as genetic recombination, happen during meiosis, specifically during prophase I. Mitosis is the cell division process that results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis is the cell division process that results in four genetically unique daughter cells.


What stage in mitosis does the chromosomes uncoil happen?

During the telophase phase, the chromosomes begin to uncoil. There are six phases with mitosis and telophase is number four.


Do mitosis happen in sexual reproduction?

Mitosis does occur in sexual reproduction, but it is not part of the process of sexual reproduction itself. Instead, mitosis is responsible for the growth and repair of cells in the organism. During sexual reproduction, gametes are produced through meiosis, a process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half to create genetically diverse offspring.


What happens during prophase you that does not happen during mitosis?

During prophase in meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and undergo crossing over, exchanging genetic material. This process does not occur during mitosis, where individual chromosomes line up and separate without crossing over.
