Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Chromatids are the two identical halves of a duplicated chromosome, joined together at the centromere.

Centromeres are the regions of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids are joined and where spindle fibers attach during mitosis.

Chromatin is the relaxed form of DNA found in the nucleus during interphase, while chromosomes are the condensed form of DNA visible during cell division.

The G1 phase is the first stage of interphase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

During the S phase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of chromosomes.
