In biology, mitosis is a fundamental process of cell division in eukaryotic cells that ensures equal distribution of the cell’s genetic material into two daughter nuclei. It is a key part of the cell cycle, coordinating chromosome condensation, alignment, separation, and eventual division of the cytoplasm during cytokinesis. Mitosis is typically divided into stages commonly known as prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, with cytokinesis following to complete cell division.

The purpose of mitosis is to produce two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell, preserving genetic information across cell generations. This contrasts with meiosis, which generates haploid cells for sexual reproduction and introduces genetic diversity. Proper regulation of mitosis is essential for tissue growth, development, and tissue repair. Errors in chromosome segregation can lead to aneuploidy and are associated with various diseases, including cancer.
