Learning Objective
I can describe the stages of mitosis and their key events.
- 1
Mitosis is the process of cell division, resulting in two identical cells, each with the full genetic information.
- 2
The five phases of mitosis are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, followed by cytokinesis.
- 3
During anaphase, the enzyme separase cleaves the cohesins, separating the sister chromatids and creating two sets of the genome.
