Solution

The process by which stem cells produce exact copies of themselves is called "Cell Division" or specifically "Mitosis". Here are the steps:

  1. Interphase: This is the phase where the cell prepares for division. The DNA is duplicated.

  2. Prophase: The chromosomes condense and become visible. The nuclear envelope breaks down.

  3. Metaphase: The chromosomes align in the middle of the cell.

  4. Anaphase: The chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.

  5. Telophase: A new nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes.

  6. Cytokinesis: The cell splits into two, each with an identical set of chromosomes.

This process ensures that each new cell has the same DNA as the original stem cell.
