Mitosis is important because of its 4 stages in the cell cycle. 1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase. In the first stage, Prophase, Chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form chromosomes, thus the nuclear envelope breaks down. In the second stage, the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. In the third stage, the centromeres split and the new chromosomes move to the opposite ends of the cell. And in the last stage, the chromosomes begin to stretch out and lose their rod-like appearance. A new nuclear envelope forms around each region of chromosomes. The DNA is once again separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane. I am 12 years old and in 7th grade and we just studied this! MITOSIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE CELL CYCLE .

Why is it important that DNA replicates before the process of mitosis?
DNA must replicate before mitosis can begin. Mitosis is another word for cell division and so there needs to be two copies of the DNA for the two new cells.
After mitosis is completed what happens to the original cell?
Nothing really happens to a cell after mitosis. The cell itself undergoes division to produce two new cells with the same number of chromosomes as it did before division. So, nothing really is left of the cell after division or mitosis.
What is the scientific name for cell division?
Mitosis is a cell division which takes place in normal body cells. Mitosis produces daughter cells which are identical to the original cell. Body cells all have the same genetic information due to Mitosis. Body cells that are produced during Mitosis all need the same genetic information so that they can do the same job as the original cell. Before the cell can divide it must make new copies of the chromosomes in its nucleus. This allows for cells that are produced to have identical genetic information. Two daughter cells are formed. Mitosis is asexual cell division.
Meiossis is cell division in which the number of chromosomes?
Before mitosis begins, the cell replicates its chromosomes (so the chromosome number doubles). Then during/after mitosis the cell splits in half - so each daughter cell produced by mitosis has the same chromosome number as the original cell.
Difference between nuclear division and cell division?
Cell division is when a cell splits in two to make more cells, and the cycle is where the cell does all the other stuff. A full life span of a cell is cell cycle that include cell division+ cell death and cell division cycle is the process of a cell to divide into two.
Why should cell division and mitosis should not be used interchangeably?
Not all cell division is mitosis so using the terms interchangeably could be incorrect in some instances.

What is cell division that produces new cells called?
ok so it is called mitosis ;]

When does cell division occurs in mitosis?
Once, and Meiosis divides twice. :) ur so smart.
What is the difference betwen cytokinesis and mitosis?
Mitosis is the process of genetic duplication while cytoplasmic division is the separating of one parent cell into two daughter cells. While the two often go hand-in-hand, mitosis precedes cytoplasmic division.
Meiossis is cell division in which the number of chromosomes?
Before mitosis begins, the cell replicates its chromosomes (so the chromosome number doubles). Then during/after mitosis the cell splits in half - so each daughter cell produced by mitosis has the same chromosome number as the original cell.
How many cells are formed after cell division?
When body cells (somatic) undergo cell division (mitosis) It creates a duplicate cell. So for every cell undergoing cellular division, one new cell plus will be formed and the original will remain.

Why is mitosis so importnant to organisms?
Cell Division. This helps the organism expand and grow to the maximum of its ability.
Why is the function of mitosis cell division is dangerous to the heart?
This is because mytotic cell division does not occur in the heart, so if damage is done the cells in the heart cannot repair themselves.
