In this deck, we'll explore mitosis, a fundamental process of cell division. For your iGCSE exam, you need to know that mitosis is a type of nuclear division that produces two new cells that are genetically identical to the original cell and to each other.

Before mitosis can happen, the cell must prepare by making an exact copy of all its chromosomes. This process is called chromosome replication. During mitosis, these two identical copies are then separated, so that each new cell receives a full, complete set of chromosomes.
