 Eukaryotic cells are membrane-bound organelles containing
organized nucleus and organelles such as mitochondria, a golgi
apparatus, an endoplasmic rectum, and lysosomes. The eukaryotic cell
has a nuclear membrane that envelops the nucleus in which the
chromosomes are found. The eukaryotic cell can reproduce by two
major types of cell division which are mitosis and meiosis.

Mitosis is one of the main processes of cell division when a

parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. Mitosis refers
to the separation of the genetic material that has been duplicated which
is carried in the nucleus. This process is then divided into five stages
which are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and
telophase.
Prophase is when duplicated pairs of chromosomes condense
and compact themselves. The replicated chromosome pairs are called
sister chromatids, and they remain joined at a central point called thre
