Question

Write brief account of mitosis cell division

Answer 1

Mitosis cell division is the type of cell division cycle in which chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes, each in its own nucleus. The result of mitotic cell division is two daughter cells which are genetically identical to both each other and the parent cell. They resemble each other qualitatively as well as quantitatively. The mother and daughter have equal number of chromosomes (2n), and they are both haploid. Hence, this type of division is also called equational cell divisionIn case of multicellular organisms, mitosis cell division ensures the increment in the number of cells as well as growth and development of the organisms. Mitosis cell division takes place in somatic or vegetative cells. Hence, it is also called vegetative cell division. The process of mitosis is divided according to the development phases of the cells. It takes place as follows:

Interphase
Karyokinesis
Cytokinesis
