Solution

Mitosis:

  1. Mitosis is the equational cell division consisting of 5 major steps.
  2. The interphase consists of the multiplication of DNA.
  3. The prophase is the stage where the mitotic spindle expands and attaches to the centriole of the chromosome.
  4. The metaphase aligns the chromosome at the metaphase plate.
  5. Anaphase is the stage where the homologous chromosomes are separated to move to the opposite poles.
  6. The telophase is the phase where the cytokinesis of the cell occurs and the nuclear material is divided into two diploid daughter cells.
