Mitosis

 Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in 2 daughter cells as the result. In mitosis, there are 4 stages in the process. The first is prophase. Prophase is when a single diploid cell is getting ready to multiply. After prophase comes Metaphase. This is the stage where the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, getting ready to move away from each other. The next step is called Anaphase. This is the stage where the chromosomes move away from each other. The last is called Telophase. This is where the single diploid cell has fully divided into 2 diploid cells. Because this is asexual reproduction, this process will continue on forever, without the need for a partner.

  1. For testing reasons, there are six stages, not four.

  2. Interphase and Cytokenesis are also stages correct?
