What are the main stages of mitosis?

Front

What is the role of chromosomes during cell division?

Back

To ensure DNA is accurately replicated and distributed to daughter cells.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
