Chapter 15, Problem 3CQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The role of mitosis used as a key process for transferring genetic information to new cells.
Introduction: The process of mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells. Mitosis can be also referred to the process of sorting in which one cell nucleus divides into two nuclei. The same complement of chromosomes is received by each daughter cell in mitosis.

Describe the mitotic spindle. Include what it is made of, how it forms, and what its role is in cell division.
Draw diagrams for each phase of Mitosis in the correct order. Including Mitosis as part of the cell cycle is beneficial but not required.
Identify the most important relevant details about each phase. There are at least 2 details or terms associated with each phase. Please use the proper names for parts such as centromeres, spindle fibres, etc.
