A random note I found on mitosis.

What is a clone?
A genetically identical offspring.

After replication of DNA, a chromosome appears as a double structure, consisting of two chromatids, held at a region called a centromere.

Interphase = A growth phase.

• Mitosis is always preceeded by interphase, a period when the cell is not dividing.
• The cell is very active: growing + synthesising proteins.
  
• The cell copies it's DNA, DNA replication takes place.
