                        What is Mitosis?

Is the second step of a cell cycle. Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle in which chromosomes in I a 

cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes, each in its own nucleus. 

Mitosis starts with one cell and ends with two cells.


(YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THE STEPS OF MITOSIS)

Cell Cycle:

I. Interphase

    A. 90% of the cell life is spent in interphase
    
    B. In Interphase the DNA is duplicated and the cell is preparing for division.

2. Mitosis

    A. Four phases of Mitosis (PMAT)
    
               I. Prophase
        
              II. Metaphase

             III. Anaphase
    
            IV. Telaphase
