Cellular division occurs through mitosis and binary fission. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells through the four stages of prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During prophase, chromosomes condense and the mitotic spindle forms. In metaphase, chromosomes line up at the center. In anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles. Telophase involves nuclear envelope reformation and cytokinesis separates the cell into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission similarly produces two identical prokaryotic cells.
