Mitoz, short for mitosis, is a process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells. It is essential for growth, development, and tissue repair in living organisms. During mitosis, the cell's chromosomes are duplicated and evenly distributed to ensure that each new cell has the same genetic information. The process of mitosis is divided into several stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Each stage plays a crucial role in organizing and separating the chromosomes. Mitosis is a key component of the cell cycle, which also includes interphase, where the cell prepares for division.
