Mitosis is the process of cell division in which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. The different phases in mitosis are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a single eukaryotic cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells. The process of mitosis is divided into five phases: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. During these phases, the cell goes through a series of changes that result in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to one another. Mitosis is used by the body to create new cells for growth and repair.
