During mitosis, the two sister chromatids that make up each chromosome separate from each other and move to opposite poles of the cell. This is shown in the figure below. Mitosis actually occurs in four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Cells on the path to cell division proceed through a series of precisely timed and carefully regulated stages. In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of a long preparatory period, called interphase. Interphase is divided into G1, S, and G2 phases. Mitosis consists of five stages: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Mitosis is usually accompanied by cytokinesis.

Mitosis does not change the cells’ genotype. The goal of mitosis is to distribute pre-combined genetic material equally. Actually, mitosis is a kind of karyokinesis, or splitting of the nucleus, as opposed to cytokinesis, which is the splitting of the whole cell. Karyokinesis and cytokinesis are parts of the cell cycle.

Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells for growth and replacement, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse haploid cells essential for sexual reproduction.

It describes etiolation, where stems elongate in darkness to seek light, and outlines the growth cycle of angiosperms, with annuals completing it in one year and biennials over two. Additionally, it highlights photoperiodism, which triggers synchronized flowering in angiosperms in response to changing daylight, facilitating cross-pollination.

It highlights the importance of checkpoints to prevent errors, which, if present, can lead to chromosomal abnormalities such as monosomy, often lethal, and trisomy, which can result in conditions like Down syndrome.

A cell plate formed by the fusion of the vesicles of the phragmoplast grows from the center toward the cell walls, and the membranes of the vesicles fuse to form a plasma membrane that divides the cell in two.

Cells on the path to cell division proceed through a series of precisely timed and carefully regulated stages of growth, DNA replication, and division that produces two identical (clone) cells. The cell cycle has two major phases: interphase and the mitotic phase.
