Flashcards
Mitosis
Mitosis
The process of cell division where one parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells.
Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis
The division of the cytoplasm in a dividing cell, forming two separate daughter cells.
Prophase
Prophase
The first stage of mitosis where chromosomes condense and become visible, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers form.

Study Notes
Mitosis
- Mitosis is the process where a cell divides its nucleus and cytoplasm to create two genetically identical daughter cells.
- Mitosis is followed by cytokinesis, a process where the cytoplasm divides.
- Mitosis is divided into four stages:
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
