Mitosis

What is Mitosis? Briefly comment on various stages of cell division with suitable diagrams.

Introduction Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a single parent cell divides to form two genetically identical daughter cells. It is a fundamental process for growth, development, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction in multicellular organisms. Mitosis occurs in somatic (body) cells and maintains the chromosome number (diploid, 2n) of the parent cell […]
