3 key concepts
- 1
Mitosis is a type of cell division that is important for growth and repair of damage in body cells, but it does not produce sperm or egg cells.
- 2
Before mitosis begins, the cell duplicates its DNA during interphase to ensure that each new cell has the correct number of chromosomes.
