Mitosis is the intricate dance of cell division that ensures genetic material is accurately replicated and distributed to daughter cells. This quiz will challenge your understanding of each phase, the roles of different cellular structures, and the overall importance of mitosis in growth and repair. Sharpen your knowledge and see how well you grasp the essentials of this vital biological process!
