Detailed explanation-1: -The process consists of three distinct but short phases: first, a growth phase in which the mass of the cell is increased, then the chromosomal replication phase, and finally the chromosomes are separated and the cells are physically split into two independent new cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prokaryotes use a type of cell division called binary fission: 1) First, the single, circular DNA molecule replicates, producing two identical copies of the original. 2) Next, the 2 DNA molecules move to opposite ends of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is conventionally divided into 5 phases, which include prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and cytokinesis.
