Answer:
The correct answer would be mitosis or M phase.
Mitosis or M phase is the phase of the cell cycle during which the actual division of the cell takes place that is, the division of nuclear content. It is also termed as karyokinesis.
It is primarily divided into four stages:
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase.
It results in the equal distribution of chromosomes into two daughter cells.
It is followed by cytokinesis by which cytoplasmic content is equally divided into the two daughter cells.
In biology, histones are highly alkaline proteins found in eukaryotic cell nuclei that package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes. They are the chief protein components<span> of </span>chromatin<span>, acting as spools around which DNA winds, and playing a role in </span>gene regulation<span>.</span>
