**CELL CYCLE: The Phases of Mitosis**    The Cell cycle and phases of Mitosis **The Cell Cycle**               - Cell division is an essential aspect of life. It enables a multicellular organism to grow and reach the adult size, replaces worn-out or damaged cells, and keeps the total number of cells in an adult organism relatively constant. - **Mitosis** is the process in which the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell divides. During this process, sister chromatids separate from **each** other and move to opposite poles of the cell. This **happens** in **four phases**, called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. - ![Body-Prophase](media/image2.jpeg) - body-metaphase - ![Body-Anaphase](media/image4.jpeg) - body-telophase - ![Body-cytokenisis](media/image6.jpeg) - **Cytokinesis: What Happens After Mitosis**
