What happens in Mitosis?
A
Removing old cells
B
Growing, Replicating DNA, cell function
C
Dividing & making new cells
D
Apoptosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. During cell division, the contents of the parent cell are copied and divided between the two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -During mitosis one cell? divides once to form two identical cells. The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells. If not corrected in time, mistakes made during mitosis can result in changes in the DNA? that can potentially lead to genetic disorders?.

Detailed explanation-4: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis involves one cell division, whereas meiosis involves two cell divisions.
