-------------is the process of cell division or growing more cells. Before a cell can divide, it must------------- its DNA. Prior to replicating the DNA, the chromosomes grow and prepare themselves for DNA replication in the G2 phase. The chromosomes replicate themselves in the S or synthesis phase of the cell cycle. After the S phase, the cell goes through the G2 phase where it prepares itself for mitosis. The G1, S, and G2 stages are collectively called interphase. The first stage of mitosis involves the condensing of chromosomes and the disappearance of the nuclear envelope; this stages is known as prophase. In the metaphase stage, the sister chromatids align on an equatorial plate. The sister chromatids separate and each chromosome moves to an opposite pole during anaphase during mitosis. In telophase, the chromatin expands, the nuclear envelope reappears, and the two nuclei appear in the cell. During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm divides, and the cell splits into two cells. Mitosis occurs in eukaryotic cells; a similar process called binary fission occurs in prokaryotic cells.
