In cell biology, '''mitosis''' is a part of the cell cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. Cell division gives rise to genetically identical cells in which the number of chromosomes is maintained.<ref>{{REFweb

==Mitosis and the foreskin==
Placing human tissue under tension causes the cells to sense the need for more tissue. The cells then start to divide and create more tissue identical to the original tissue. The additional tissue results in [[tissue expansion]], which is a recognized medical practice. Tissue may be placed under tension by applying traction, [[stretching ]] [[skin ]] manually, or by tugging with a device.
* Men who have a narrow tight [[foreskin]] or [[phimosis]] may stretch the narrow part of their foreskin laterally to cause mitosis, which results in a wider , retractable foreskin and .* Men who have been [[circumcision| circumcised]] may stretch their residual [[shaft skin]] longitudinally to lengthen it until it takes the shape of a retractable foreskin.* [[Intact]] men who wish to have a longer foreskin may stretch their foreskin longitudinally to make it longer.
