Mitosis is the multi-phase process in which the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell multiply.

Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division). The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells. Here are the steps involved in the process of mitosis:

1. Interphase: This is the phase where the cell prepares for division by replicating its DNA and centrioles.

2. Prophase: The chromosomes condense and become visible, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.

3. Metaphase: The chromosomes align in the middle of the cell, and the mitotic spindle attaches to the chromosomes.

4. Anaphase: The chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.

5. Telophase: The chromosomes decondense, the nuclear envelope re-forms, and the mitotic spindle breaks down.

6. Cytokinesis: The cytoplasm divides, creating two separate cells.

Each of these steps is crucial for successful cell division. If any errors occur during this process, it can lead to cell death or disease.
