Mitosis
Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle in which chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes, and each set ends up in its own nucleus. In general, mitosis (division of the nucleus) is often accompanied or followed by cytokinesis, which divides the cytoplasm, organelles and cell membrane into two new cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic (M) phase of an animal cell cycle—the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells, genetically identical to each other and to their parent cell.
The process of mitosis is divided into stages corresponding to the completion of one set of activities and the start of the next. These stages are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. During mitosis, the chromosomes, which have already duplicated, condense and attach to spindle fibers that pull one copy of each chromosome to opposite sides of the cell. The result is two genetically identical daughter nuclei. The rest of the cell may then continue to divide by cytokinesis to produce two daughter cells. Producing three or more daughter cells instead of normal two is a mitotic error called tripolar mitosis or multipolar mitosis (direct cell triplication / multiplication). Other errors during mitosis can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) or cause mutations. Certain types of cancer can arise from such mutations.

Mitosis
by: Lefty BakerAlright stop cooperate and listen
the steps of mitosis are in condition
first step interphase grip it tightly
cell organelles double daily and nightly
any more info? yo I dont know
DNA copies and the cell grows
here comes the extreme the cell grows it's too much to handle
it grows as fast as the light of a candle
(Dance)
The chromatin condenses into chromo-somes
the nuclear membrane disappears and goes boom
this is the prophase melody
to place this in any other step would be a felony
what happens next? you will have to wait
learn this material fool, kid dont play
if your wondering your eye color mitosis will solve it
because your heredity... chromosomes tell all of it
My...I...I...tosis
My...I...I...tosis
My...I...I...tosis
Now that the cell is jumpin
and the spindle fibers appear to be pumpin
quick to the point this is the metaphase no fakin
the spindle apparatus are lined up like a string of bacon
the cell cycle is quick and nimble
now chromosomes are in the center of the cell yo
I was at school and I heard a bell
the microscope shows the centrosomes in the cell
the cell is forming... real fast
chromosomes are the fuel... the cells gass
apparatus to apparatus the cell is packed
the centrosomes move to the side as the apparatus stack
metaphase is the scene you know what I mean
mitosis helps me survive just like protein
if your wondering your hair color mitosis will solve it
