    phase‚ any additional growing would occur. After the nucleus of the cell is divided‚ the cytoplasm will divide in Cytokinesis‚ creating new daughter cells. The process of the nuclear division differs slightly in Mitosis and Meiosis. In Mitosis‚ somatic cells‚ or body cells‚ are divided. Let’s say the parent cell has four chromatids. These chromatid will replicate and form four chromosome pairs‚ a total of eight sister chromatids. In Prophase‚ these chromosomes will line up‚ head-to-toe. Spindle
