Mitosis

From Conservapedia

The term mitosis refers to the duplication of a cell's chromosomes to allow daughter cells to receive the exact genetic makeup of the parent cell.^[1] Mitosis does not occur in prokaryotes, which divide in a simpler way using their mesosomes. Errors made in the process of the copying of the cell's DNA during the prophase occasionally occur, resulting in mutations. Mitosis makes up the "M-phase" of the cell cycle, and is comprised of the following stages:
