    When cells get too large, they not cannot properly expel waste or bring in enough nutrients, and so they begin to fail. In organisms, especially humans, mitosis divides the cells.

    Interphase: cell is growing and going through normal functions

    Mitosis: cell's genetic material and nucleus divide

    Prophase: chromatin condenses, nucleus breaks down, centrioles move to opposite sides, spindle forms and pulls sister chromatids apart

    Metaphase: spindle fibers move to the middle of the cell

    Anaphase: sister chromatids separate, spindle shortens, pulling chromatin to opposite sids

    Telophase: chromosomes reach opposite sides and uncoil, nuclear membrane forms around genetic material again

    Cytokinesis: division of the cytoplasm

    End Result: two genetically identical cells
