There is a special way of cells multiplying and regrouping. It makes more cells by splitting the it apart, and this unusual technique is called mitosis.
Mitosis has 4 stages: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telephase. Throughout most of its life, a cell goes through a stage called interphase, where it stays still and does its work. This usually lasts for a certain amount of time. When the cell knows its time is ready, then the cell starts its first stage: Prophase.
Prophase is when the cell membrane slowly starts to divide. During this stage, the cell prepares itself to divide in two. Then, after the membrane shrivels up, the cell goes into a new stage called Metaphase. Metaphase is when the cell slowly divides itself, and when this happens, copies of the cell's DNA called chromatids, start to form. By the time it's done, the cell has entered the third stage called Anaphase. Anaphase is when the chromatids slowly drift apart, and during this action, the two separated cells should be facing each other.When the chromatids have officially broke apart, the official two cells, also called daughter calls, are split. If the cell is a plant cell, then a cell plate divides them in two, and if the cell is an animal cell, then the cells slowly seperate itself, making two new cells in whole.
