The question is asking about the process of cell division, detailing the definitions of cell division, chromosomes, mitosis, and meiosis, as well as outlining the phases of mitosis.
Answer
Cell division involves interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
Cell division is the process where new daughter cells are formed. Its stages include interphase followed by prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
Answer for screen readers
Cell division is the process where new daughter cells are formed. Its stages include interphase followed by prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
More Information
Mitosis is the process where one cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, crucial for growth and repair.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing meiosis with mitosis; meiosis results in four genetically diverse cells.
