A one celled organism reproduces by splitting in two. That is how you get millions of tiny cells in the envirement and even in you. When a cell splits it goes through several stages to do it. The first stage is called prophase. During this stage the cell duplicates its DNA(deoxyribose nucleic acid) so that both cells after mitosis will have enough of everything in  themselves. The parent cell makes the duplicate DNA out of protiens that the cell has. The next stage of mitosis is the metaphase. During metaphase the DNa duplicates and originals come together at the equator of the cell.This helps so at the end of the process both cell will only take one of each. Anaphase, the next step, is where the DNA move to oppposite sides of the cell. They start pushing at the sides to help stretch it so the cell splits in two. The same thing happens in telophase, the final step. The only thing different is that they move to the other side of the cell. Then the cell membrane forms like a wall between the cells and the parent is split in two.
