Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclear division leading to identical sets of chromosomes in the daughter cells. Mitosis assures the genetic continuity of the ancestral cells in the daughter cells of the body. It involves one fully equational division preceded by a DNA synthetic phase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a process where one cell divides into two cells (Fig. 2.46). Chromosomes in the original cell are duplicated to ensure that the two new cells have full copies of the necessary genetic information. The process of mitosis generates new cells that are genetically identical to each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is a way of making more cells that are genetically the same as the parent cell. It plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and development of our bodies as well. Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old, lost or damaged.
