Mitosis: How One Cell Becomes Two

The video explains the process of mitosis, a key part of the cell cycle where cells divide to form two identical cells. It covers the five phases of mitosis: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, followed by cytokinesis. Each phase is described in detail, highlighting the changes in chromosomes and the role of the mitotic spindle. The video also discusses the importance of mitosis in producing new cells for growth and repair, and briefly introduces the concept of gametes, which are produced by a different process.
