The constancy of the chromosome number from one cell generation to the next is maintained through Mitosis.
What is mitosis?
A cell prepares for cell division by replicating its chromosomes, segregating them, and creating two identical nuclei during the mitotic phase.
The cell's contents are often evenly divided into two daughter cells with identical genomes after mitosis.
What is the mitotic process?
A eukaryotic cell's nucleus divides in two during the process of mitosis, which is followed by the division of the parent cell into two daughter cells.
The term "mitosis," which translates to "threads," refers to the chromosomes' appearance as threads when the cell gets ready to divide.
What is the phases of the mitosis?
prophase
prometaphase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase, and cytokinesis.
What is the importance of mitosis?
Multicellular creatures depend on mitosis to produce new cells for growth and to replace damaged or worn-out cells, such as skin cells.
Mitosis serves as the main asexual reproductive mechanism for a large number of single-celled organisms.
