Final Answer:
Mitosis is used for: growth, repair, asexual reproduction, and replacing old/damaged cells.
1. Most of a cell’s life is spent in a period of growth called: Interphase
2. DNA replicates during: Interphase
3. The nucleus divides into two identical nuclei during: Mitosis
4. The stage of the cell cycle that immediately follows mitosis is called: Cytokinesis
5. Mitosis begins with 1 parent cell(s) and ends with 2 daughter cell(s).
The four stages of mitosis (in order) shown in the diagrams are:
Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase
