In the cell cycle, mitosis is the nuclear division of replicated chromosomes by the disconnection of the replicated chromosomes to form two genetically identical daughter nuclei. The process of cytokinesis is usually accompanied by mitosis. The process of cytokinesis involves cell division in two, resulting in the subdivision of the cytoplasm into two cell suites. The process of mitosis can take place in a haploid (23 chromosomes) or diploid (46 chromosomes) cell. Before a cell can be ready for mitotic division, it must first go through its interphase phase. After the interphase stage, several other stages come into play. These stages are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During each specific stage, certain sequences of events take place that contribute to the completion of the division. During interphase, cell growth, DNA replication, centriole separation, and protein synthesis take place. This phase is recognized as the longest period of the cell cycle, meaning the stage during which the cell devotes itself to...
