Mitosis is the part of eukaryotic cell division in which the nucleus divides and distributes the chromosomes to the two daughter nuclei, ensuring that each daughter cell receives chromosomes identical to those of the parent cell. mitosis is just one part of the cell cycle, the overall sequence of events from the formation of a cell by cell division to the cell's own division into two new daughter cells. in this tutorial, you will review key terms associated with mitosis and the cell cycle, cellular processes that occur during the main phases of the cell cycle, and changes in dna structure during the cell cycle. before beginning this t
