Description:
The different types of mitosis that may occur are as follows −
Anastral mitosis − Found in plants which has spindles devoid of aster.
Amphiastral mitosis − Found in animals having two asters, one at each pole.
Intranuclear or Promitosis − Nuclear membrane is not lost and spindle is formed inside the nuclear membrane.
Extranuclear or Eumitosis − Nuclear membrane is lost and spindle is formed outside nuclear membrane.
Endomitosis − Chromosomes and their DNA duplicate but fail to separate which lead to polyploidy.
Free nuclear division − Nucleus undergoes repeated karyokinesis but no cytokinesis occurs between them. This leads to multinucleate or coenocytic condition.
