Mitosis

     Mitosis is known as the shortest part and also the end of a cell cycle, referring to the process when a cell reproduces by dividing into two new cells. From a parent cell the production of two daughter cells will be identical to one another since that they will have the same number of chromosomes. Because millions of cells died each time mitosis is necessary so that new cells could replace the other cells. Repeated mitosis allows multicellular organisms to have proper body functions by having the same copy of genetic copy ensuring multiple cells to be able to work together and not cause conflict.     Throughout the stages of mitosis, chromosomes are first created by being condensed from chromatins. These chromosomes would then replicate itself and will align at the equatorial part of the parent cell. Pulled into two sister chromatids these strands reaches the cellular poles which would disperse back into chromosomes for the two daughter cells. In conclusion, 46 chromosomes in the beginning are produced into each new cells.Mitosis
