MITOSIS/ CELL DIVISION



MTOSIS IS one of the cell division the other one is meiosis which is majorly in reproductive cells. Cell division starts with interphase, interphase has 3 stages namely G1, S and G2. After interphase, mitosis starts with early prophase where chromosomes starts to thicken and form a duplicated chromosome. Late phrophase is where th centrioles go far away from each other to go to opposite pole, this is also where the chromosomes form ''X'' shape. Metaphase is where the spindle fibers from the centriole hold the centromere of aligned chromosomes. Anaphase is where the opposite poles get the half of the chromosome. Then telophase happens and form cleavage furrow and the daughter cells has its own nucleus.
