Mitotic Phase

The mitotic phase is a stage in cell division where a single cell splits into two identical daughter cells. During this process, the cell's DNA, which is tightly packed into chromosomes, is precisely duplicated and then evenly divided to ensure each new cell has the same genetic information. The mitotic phase involves several steps—prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase—where chromosomes are organized, separated, and finally pulled apart. This ensures proper distribution of genetic material, allowing growth, tissue repair, and maintenance in living organisms.
