Mr. Anderson explains mitosis, the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells. He discusses the importance of mitosis in growth and repair, the difference between diploid and haploid cells, and the phases of the cell cycle. The video also covers the structure of chromosomes and the detailed phases of mitosis, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. Additionally, it compares mitosis in plant and animal cells and highlights how uncontrolled mitosis can lead to cancer.
