Mitosis

Mitosis is the process by which the chromosome pairs in the nucleus divide into two sets for transfer of one set to each of the daughter cells (43). During the interphase of the cell cycle, the chromosomes are long and thin, and the DNA molecules replicate so that each chromosome has an exact copy of itself by the end of the phase. There are four phases to mitosis. In the first phase, prophase, the chromosomes become shorter and thicker, and each chromosome consists of two chromatids held together at the center by a centromere. The nuclear membrane begins to disintegrate at this phase, and spindle fibers form from the centromeres and extend to the poles of the cells. In the cells of animals, fungi, and algae, and some ferns, the centrioles replicate and move towards the poles of the cells, and the chromosomes migrate to the equator of the
