Detailed explanation-1: -After cells grow to their maximum size, they divide into two new cells. These new cells are small at first, but they grow quickly and eventually divide and produce more new cells. This process keeps repeating in a continuous cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis, although a continuous process, is conventionally divided into five stages: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis is a continuous process, but for convenience it is usually examined as a series of separate events, with two divisions. As the cell prepares for meiosis, the chromosomes gradually become more visible.

Detailed explanation-4: -During mitosis one cell? divides once to form two identical cells. The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells. If not corrected in time, mistakes made during mitosis can result in changes in the DNA? that can potentially lead to genetic disorders?.

Detailed explanation-5: -A cell divides after being mature and divides into two new small cells. These new cells grow, divide and multiply, continuously forming new cells. The continuously repeated division of cells shows that mitosis is a continuous process.
