message: Something is wrong with the timeline near the end of the article !
Cell Division
Mitosis 
for body growth and repair
result in 2 new cell each with the same as the original cell called daughter cells.
Meiosis
for producing gametes(sex cells)
result in 4 new cells each with half the number of chromosomes
as the original cell  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.73.47.231 (talk) 07:29, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The article states that cytokenisis divides the nucleus, organelles and membrane.
This is wrong. Cytokenisis only divides the cytoplasm.

message: Mitosis literally means (parallel) warp-thread process, coined by Walther Flemming in 1882, because of the appearance of "chromatin threads in early stages".  Was that the first discovery of the process? And which stage exactly was the naming referring to (early anaphase?), specifically (since chromatin probably just meant anything he could see using his dye) is it in reference to the arrangement of the chromosomes or of the microtubules or whatever that will pull them apart? (Meanwhile, the oft-confused meiosis literally means "lessening", appropriately.) 
Also, from the article: Each sister chromatid is not considered a chromosome in itself, and a chromosome always contains two sister chromatids. What does this mean? Is it implying that the article's prior discussion of the "chromosome", before the process that creates sister chromatids, was invalid in the use of the term "chromosome"?

message: This article's is constantly suffering single-purpose anon-ip unconstructive edits which need to be reverted (occasionally other anon-ips have performed those reverts). Why is mitosis, of all things, the target of such controversy?? Unless, is it highschool teachers trying to interfere with use of the encyclopedia? Anyway, do people think this page is deserving of semi-long-term protections (e.g., restricting editing to logged in users)? Cesiumfrog (talk) 07:46, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Somewhere else on wikipedia there is a diagram showing how a dna molecule is packaged.
It is several layers of coils of coils etc.
Considering how long this molecule is if it was straightened out I cannot see how it can be unwound
without the loose ends getting clogged up in what is left of the fully coiled molecule.
I tried this with two bits of string twisted together. As it is untwisted it is essential that
the free ends can rotate or else they get twists in themselves. This becomes very
obvious as the length of the string increases. It becomes necessary to frequently
smooth the twists out of the loose ends.

message: In the provided drosophila melanogaster video, the cells go through mitosis in a synchronized manner: All cells seem to almost perfectly go through each mitosis phase identically at the same time. What causes this synchronization? Maybe some form of cell signaling between the cells? --Abdull (talk) 12:35, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Even though this is covered under “mutations” should this not be a separate section? Considering that cancer is a form of uncontrollable mitosis ( ignores cyclin signals, does not go through apoptosis and is “immortal” in the sense that it does not die after many divisions) it is an important section to clarify for the reader, anyone agree?

message: The image seems to suggest that dinoflagellates have a very primitive mitosis without "kinetochore microtubules", save for "atypical" examples. There’s also no green stuff, which based on the preceding images is supposed to be a spindle.
I doubt this is how it works. The typical dinoflagellate
* definitely have spindles, usually but not always extranuclear
* definitely uses microtubules to pull kinetochores, see link above
* uses microtubles in some topologically unusual "nuclear net" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-37065-w
(It looks like there is an attempt at drawing the net. It took me a while to figure out that the blue is supposed to be the outer surface of the nucleus and the yellow its inside surface: it’s a cutaway. So we really just need to rearrange labels and add two bits of green stuff. Not the easiest thing with the commons overwrite things, alas.) Artoria2e5 🌉 06:21, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
