Emma- Hey, Ava, do you know what cell division is and how it works?
Ava- No, I don't know how it works.
Let me tell you how cell division works.
OK, I'm excited.
-Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.
The cell division cycle, more commonly and simply known as the cell cycle.
Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself.
In early prophase, the cell starts to break down some structures and build others up, setting the stage for division of the chromosomes.
Mitosis consists of four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
In telophase, the cell is nearly done dividing, and it starts to re-establish its normal structures as cytokinesis (division of the cell contents) takes place.
In anaphase, the sister chromatids separate from each other and are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell.
In metaphase, the spindle has captured all the chromosomes and lined them up at the middle of the cell, ready to divide.
