The chromatids (now also considered chromosomes) arrive at the opposite ends of the cell, and new nuclear membranes form. Mitosis, which describes only the division of the nucleus, is now complete.

Most cells grow, perform the activities needed to survive, and divide to create new cells. These basic processes, known collectively as the cell cycle, are repeated throughout the life of a cell.

Interphase The cell spends most of its life in this phase. The DNA in chromosomes copies itself ready for mitosis. Prophase The DNA in chromosomes and their copies condenses to become more visible.

Same as in mitosis, except that the spindle fibers from each centriole attach to one chromosome of a matching chromosome pair. In other words, the fibers from one centriole attach to 23 ...

Like mitosis, meiosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division. However ... sexual reproduction helps fuel the incredible diversity of life on Earth.

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.
