Mitosis

Mitosis is the process of cell division in which the genetic material of the parent cell is duplicated, producing two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.

• Mitosis is important for graph because genetically identical new cells must be produced during growth
• Mitosis occurs during asexual reproduction, producing offspring that are genetically identical to the parents as well as to one another

• Stages of mitosis
  1. Interphase
  2. Prophase
  3. Metaphase
  4. Anaphase
