Describe the purpose of mitosis. 2. Describe what is happening in each stage and what each stage looks like:
Prophase
Prometaphase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis

To acquire growth and to replace worn out and defected cells.

Explanation:

The main purpose of mitosis is to acquire growth and to replace worn out and defected cells.

In prophase, the chromatin condenses which is present in the nucleus of the cell.

Prometaphase is the stage where the nuclear membrane breaks apart into numerous "membrane vesicles".

Metaphase is the phase where all the genetic material is condensing into chromosomes.

Anaphase is the stage in which chromosomes are pulled by the spindle fibers to opposite poles of the cell.

In Telophase, the cell is nearly dividing, and it starts to re-establish its normal structures as cytokinesis (division of the cell contents) takes place.

Cytokinesis is the process which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.

that would be called plucking : )

explanation:

''plucking, also referred to as quarrying, is a glacial phenomenon that is responsible for the erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint blocks". as a glacier moves down a valley, friction causes the basal ice of the glacier to melt and infiltrate joints (cracks) in the bedrock."
