The process of mitosis has fascinated scientists since it was first observed through a microscope more than a century ago.

Mitosis is a duplication process of cells responsible for growth and development, as well as replacing worn out cells throughout our bodies.

The end result of mitosis is the production of two genetically identical “daughter cells” from a single “parent” cell.

The phases of mitosis include prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
