Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by certain genes.

Detailed explanation-2: -During mitosis, the cell shares the copied DNA equally between the 2 new cells. This means that the cell separates all the copied chromosomes into 2 full sets. One at each end of the cell that is splitting in two. The other material that makes up the cell also splits in two. The result is two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells need to divide for your body to grow and for body tissue such as skin to continuously renew itself. When a cell divides, the outer membrane increasingly pinches inward until the new cells that are forming separate from each other. This process typically produces two new (daughter) cells from one (parent) cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA. During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell separates its DNA into two sets and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division).
