Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division occurs during M phase, which consists of nuclear division (mitosis) followed by cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis). The DNA is replicated in the preceding S phase; the two copies of each replicated chromosome (called sister chromatids) remain glued together by cohesins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis (the M phase) The process of mitosis, or cell division, is also known as the M phase. This is where the cell divides its previously-copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new, identical daughter cells. Mitosis consists of four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Detailed explanation-3: -The next stage is M. M stands for mitosis. This is where the cell actually partitions the two copies of the genetic material into the two daughter cells. After M phase completes, cell division occurs and two cells are left, and the cell cycle can begin again.
Detailed explanation-4: -The mitotic spindle is formed by microtubules bearing the chromosomes attached to one of their ends. The animal cell mitotic spindle has two poles where centrosomes are located. There are two types of mitosis: open and closed.
