Mitotic division in a animal lung cell under a contrast microscope.
It consists of two main stages.
Karyokinesis : This is the main part of cell division, which is the division of the nucleus. It is further divided into four stages.
Prophase : The nucleus of the cell breaks apart. The individual chromsomes are visible as the chromatids condense.
Metaphase : The...

A photon is not actually a wave or particle, but is instead the measured transference of energy from other particles. Which would help reason wave-duality and interference patterns. My hand is broken, or I would have made a longer post about it.
