Mitosis Study Guide
Friday June 23, 2006
Mitosis is a process of cell division in which the genetic material from a parent cell is divided equally between two cells.
Cell division enables organisms to grow and reproduce. Dividing cells go through an ordered series of events called the cell cycle.
Before a dividing cell enters mitosis, it must duplicate its genetic material and increase its organelles and cytoplasm. This period of growth is called interphase.
