Mitosis
| Fungi | Viruses | Bacteria |
| Mitosis is the asexual process that cells go through in order to reproduce. There are four stages in the process of mitosis. |
 |
| Interphase |
| Interphase is not part of the phase of cell division. It is the time of life when a cell just is a cell. It is working to survive, but not reproduce. |
| Prophase |
| The chromosomes in the nucleus are called chrmatids. They line up in what is called a double strand. The nuclear membrane that surrounds the nucleus begins to dissolve. |
| Metaphase |
| Spindle fibers form and stretch from one end of the cell to the other. Chromosomes inside the nucleus line up along the spindle fibers. |
| Anaphase |
| Each line of chromosomes are pulled to opposite endss of the cell. |
| Telophase |
| A new nuclear membrane forms around the two separated groups of chromosomes. Two new cells, called daughter cells, are formed. |
