How do cells prpare for mitosis

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "mitosis" to get these possible sources:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis
http://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm
http://www.biology.arizona.edu/Cell_bio/tutorials/cell_cycle/cells3.html
http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/GG/mitosis.php
http://www.johnkyrk.com/mitosis.html

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
