Mitosis: The Key to Growth and Development

                       Hey wassup and welcome back to another geniune science blog post. today I'm going to teach you about what mitosis is and what cell division is. First off, we will talk about what mitosis is as mentioned and how it relates to cell division.LINK


 Mitosis relates to cell division because it's when cells divide and reproduce. Cell division enables living things to grow and help replace injured or dead cells. When one cell divides a new cell is replicated. Mitosis is the same thing as that. Why mitosis is important is because it helps the body grow as you get older.

Mitosis is a process in which it contains the following steps:

• Interphase(the beginning): when a cell begins to divide, chromosomes begin to duplicate and daughter chromatids appear.
• Prophase: the nucleus prepares for cell division and the chromosomes start to divide and replicate.
• Metaphase: the two copies of each chromosome line up like a military march and spindles begin to attach to them
• Anaphase: the chromosomes are pulled by the spindle fibers to each end of the cell. The new nuclear membrane forms on both sister chromosomes
• Telophase: two groups of chromosomes are formed and the cells divide into two by allowing the cell membrane to split into two.

What happens in cytokinesis is that the cell membrane and the rest of the cell officially split into two cells.
