The ratio of surface area to volume is a key factor that limits cell size.

Homologous chromosomes are not identical to one another, because they carry different forms, or alleles, of the same genes. They have several other
characteristics in common, such as their length, centromere location, and
banding pattern.

A Human Karyotype

The importance of mitosis is the maintenance of the chromosomal set; each cell formed receives chromosomes that are alike in composition and equal in number to the chromosomes of the parent cell.The mitosis phase (cell division) is a relatively short period of the cell cycle.

InterphaseInterphase, the much longer phase, is divided into three phases, G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G2 (second gap). During all three phases, the cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic organelles. However, chromosomes are replicated only during the S phase.
Thus, a cell grows (G1), grows as it duplicates its chromosomes (S), grows more and prepares for
mitosis (G2), and divides (M)

Prophase
The two round objects above the nucleus are the centrosomes and notice the condensed chromatin.
Normally, the genetic material in the nucleus is in a loosely bundled coil called chromatin.

Metaphase
The chromosomes have aligned at the metaphase plate

Anaphase Two events then occur:
– First, the proteins that bind sister chromatids together are cleaved, allowing them to separate.
– Second, the elongation of the microtubules, which pushes the centrosomes (and the set of chromosomes to which they are attached) apart to opposite ends of the cell.
At the end of anaphase, the cell has succeeded in separating identical copies of the genetic material into two distinct populations.

Telophase
Corresponding sister chromosomes attach at opposite ends of the cell.
A new nuclear envelope, using fragments of the parent cell's nuclear membrane, forms around each set of separated sister chromosomes.
Both sets of chromosomes, now surrounded by new nuclei, unfold back into chromatin.
Mitosis is complete, but cell division is not yet complete.

Cytokinesis
In animal cells, a cleavage furrow (pinch) containing a contractile ring develops where the metaphase plate used to be, pinching off the separated nuclei.
In plants this structure coalesces into a cell plate at the center of the phragmoplast and develops into a cell wall, separating the two nuclei.
