Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division). The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells. If an organism is injured it goes through mitosis to regrow the area that was lost.
The different stages of mitosis are Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
In the cell cycle, the stages will only take about 24 hours it will not take more than 1 and 1 ½ days. During the root process, we learned many different things we learned that its the fastest growing part of the plant and that's why its used for studying cell division.
This research relates because just like onion roots the planarians have regenerative abilities and can regrow different parts of their bodies if they were hurt or taken off.
If we can understand the process of mitosis we can see how cells regenerate and change this is how we are becoming better learners by studying the process of stem cells it helps further our knowledge and learning about regeneration and helps us to further our studies not just on test subjects but other beings.
