Answer:
B. allows processes as growing and repair tissues in the body.
Explanation:
Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. During mitosis one cell divides once to form two identical cells and the dividing cell's chromosomes are copied and then distributed equally between the two new nuclei of the daughter cells.
The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells. It also plays an important part in the development of embryos.
Mitosis is divided into five stages:
1. Interphase- during interphase, the DNA in the cell is copied resulting in two identical sets of chromosomes. Microtubules also extend from the centrosomes outside the nucleus
2. Prophase- during this phase, the sister chromatids in each chromosome pair up, the nuclear membrane dissolves and the mitotic spindle consisting of microtubules and other proteins extend across the cell between the centrioles which move to opposite ends of the cell.
3. Metaphase- the chromosomes line up at the centre of the cell and the mitotix spindle attaches to eachmof the sister c hromatids.
4. Anaphase- the sister chtomatids are pulled apart to each end of the cell by the mitotic spindle.
5. Telophase- at each pole, a full set of chromosomes gather together, a membrane encloses each chromosome, the cell pinches at the middle and then divides into two. This is known as cytokinesis.
