Detailed explanation-1: -The process of mitosis ensures that each daughter cell has a copy of every chromosome present in the parent cell. What is the use of this process? All the cells divide into two daughter cells and each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinesis. Cytokinesis is the second part of the mitotic phase during which cell division is completed by the physical separation of the cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -The process of mitosis ensures that each daughter cell receives a full complement of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -When mitosis is not regulated correctly, health problems such as cancer can result. The other type of cell division, meiosis, ensures that humans have the same number of chromosomes in each generation. It is a two-step process that reduces the chromosome number by half-from 46 to 23-to form sperm and egg cells.
