A visual guide to the four stages of mitosis helps students and researchers understand the process of cell division. It serves as a reference for identifying each stage - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase - and their transitions, highlighting the key events and changes in chromosome arrangement. Additionally, it aids in comprehending the importance of mitosis in growth, repair, and reproduction of organisms, and assists in recognizing errors in cell division that can lead to genetic disorders or diseases, like cancer. This guide is a valuable educational and research tool in biology and related fields.
