The document outlines the objectives of a lesson on mitosis, emphasizing its definition, phases, and significance to living organisms. Mitosis is described as a process of cellular reproduction that results in two identical daughter cells, crucial for growth and repair in somatic cells. The document details the stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.

OBJECTIVES
At the of the lesson, the students should be able to:
a) Define mitosis and its importance
b) Identify and explain the different phases of mitosis as well as their processes. c) Elaborate the importance of mitosis to all living organisms. Cells do not “grow” or become large, rather, cells reproduce more cells. Cellular reproduction is what makes our bodies grow and develop. One type of cellular reproduction is mitosis. Cell Division- alternating with the interphase is the cell division phase. In eukaryotic cells there are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is a process that allows a cell to divide into two identical daughter cells. It's a key part of the cell cycle that helps organisms grow, develop, and repair themselves. Mitosis happens in the body cells or somatic cells. Somatic cells are any cells in the body that are not reproductive cells, such as skin, muscle, and bone cells. It is divided into 4 stages. Prophase - is the first phase of cell division, occurring in both mitosis and meiosis. During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form. PROPHASE Metaphase is a phase of cell division when chromosomes align in the middle of a cell. It's the third phase of mitosis, which is the process of separating duplicated genetic material into two identical daughter cells. Anaphase- is a phase of mitosis when duplicated chromosomes are separated and moved to opposite ends of a cell. It's the fourth phase of mitosis, which is the process of separating duplicated genetic material into two identical daughter cells. Telophase - is the final stage of cell division in mitosis and meiosis. It's when a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, separating the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm. Cytokinesis is the process by which a cell's cytoplasm splits into two daughter cells. It's the final step of cell division and occurs after the duplication of genetic material.
