## Mitosis ### Interfase: * The process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes. There’s no genetic variability. #### Interfase phases: * **G1:** The cell grows physically and duplicates organelles. * **S:** The cell synthesizes DNA in its nucleus and organizes microtubules. * **G2:** The cell grows more, makes proteins, and prepares for mitosis. ### Phases of Mitosis: * **Prophase:** The DNA condenses and the spindle starts forming. Chromosomes group together vertically. * **Metaphase:** The duplicated chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles. * **Telophase:** The spindle disappears. New nuclei form. * **Cytokinesis:** The division of the cytoplasm. ### Summary: The interphase is the phase where the cell grows and replicates its DNA. During mitosis, the cell separates its DNA into two groups by duplicating the chromosomes and then dividing the cell into two identical daughter cells.
