Process of Mitosis
[[Mitosis]] is the type of cell division that form 2 identical daughter cells.
Mitosis is important for 1.Growth, 2.asexual reproduction 3.replace and repair damaged cells. The process that takes place before cell division{Mitosis} is called interphase where DNA replication makes copy of itself

Mitosis has 4 phases:
1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase
We use the acronym P.MAT for knowing the correct order that takes place.

1.Prophase
★ spindle fibres form and chromatin network is seen as chromosomes

2.Metaphase
★ Chromosomes line up at the equator (in the middle of spindle fibres)
★ Chromosomes attached to spindle fibres by centromere

3. Anaphase
★ chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles by spindle fibres forming two identical daughter cells

4. Telophase
★ 2 new identical daughter cells formed
