Detailed explanation-1: -The result of mitosis is two identical daughter cells, genetically identical to the original cell, all having 2N chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis divides the nucleus into two nuclei, followed by cytokinesis which divides the cytoplasm. Two genetically identical daughter cells result.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The result of mitosis and cytokinesis is the formation of two identical daughter cells from one cell via cellular division.
