* After the Telophase, Cytokinesis takes place
1. INTERPHASE The interphase is basically the resting period of a cell. During this period, the cell engages in normal cell activities, such as absorbing nutrients, utilizing oxygen, etc.
5. TELOPHASE Telophase is the semi-final stage of mitosis where the nuclear membrane reforms, spindle fibres disappear and the cell begins to split in the middle. This is when the cell is ready to reconstruct a nucleus at each end of the cell, and the chromosomes are ready to be enclosed in the nucleus.
* CYTOKINESIS The last part of mitosis is cytokinesis, where the cell splits completely and the two new cells are fully formed. The cytoplasm, which fills the dividing cells, is divided up and all the necessary organelles are present in the new cell.
3. METAPHASE In the metaphase, the chromosomes divide, making copies of themselves. The centrioles' spindles start to pull the chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell.
4. ANAPHASE The anaphase is when the spindle fibres have almost completely separated the chromosomes from their copies and are almost finished pulling them to the opposite sides of the cell
2. PROPHASE The prophase is when the chromosomes condense and become visible, the centrioles divide and form spindle bundles and the nuclear membrane disappears.

Advantages of Mitosis: - Is a simple process, only requires one "parent" - Can produce large numbers in a short amount of time - When concerning spores, can spread quickly, increasing the spores' chance of survival.
Disadvantages of Mitosis: - Produces exact copies which creates the inability for cells to deal with ongoing changes within the body. Eg/ cells aren't immune to a certain disease, all copies aren't immune to the disease, all unable to defend against the disease
