Mitosis, a type of cell division, is observed in ?

Explanation

Mitosis is the process by which a eukaryotic somatic cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. It ensures that each daughter gets an exact copy of the parent cell's linear chromosomes; the DNA is first replicated during S phase of interphase, and then mitosis apportions the duplicated chromosomes so the two new nuclei are genetically identical. Mitosis proceeds through a well-defined sequence of stages - prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase - coordinated with cytokinesis (physical cell splitting). Key features of mitosis include condensation of chromatin into visible chromosomes, formation of the mitotic spindle (microtubule-based apparatus) to move chromosomes, and precise separation of sister chromatids to opposite poles.
