Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Mitotic cell division is a method by which a single cell divides into two daughter cells. The two daughter cells each receive the genetic material present in the single parent cell. This duplication of a single cell into two occurs by a series of stages that is the life cycle of every single cell. The life cycle of every single cell begins and ends with cell division.
Mitosis is subdivided into five stages: Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
