Mitosis: The Amazing Cell Process that Uses Division to Multiply! (Updated)

The video explains mitosis, a crucial cell division process for growth and repair. It contrasts mitosis with meiosis, emphasizing that mitosis produces identical body cells. The cell cycle, including interphase and DNA replication, is discussed. The stages of mitosis—prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase—are detailed, highlighting the role of chromosomes and spindles. The video concludes with the importance of mitosis in understanding growth, repair, and cancer research.
