Join the Amoeba Sisters as they define mitosis, explain its significance, and then dive into general events of the major phases of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. This video also mentions concepts including interphase, chromosome/chromatid, cytokinesis, and how uncontrolled cell division can be a feature of cancer cells.
