Mitosis was discovered by Flemming.
Walther Flemming was a German biologist and a founder of cytogenetics.
Flemming investigated the process of cell division and the distribution of chromosomes to the daughter nuclei, a process he called mitosis from the Greek word for thread.
However, he did not see the splitting into identical halves, the daughter chromatids. He studied mitosis both in vivo and in stained preparations, using as the source of biological material the fins and gills of salamanders.
Flemming's name is honoured by a medal awarded by the German Society for Cell Biology.
