Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is nuclear division during which duplicated chromosomes are segregated and distributed into daughter nuclei. Usually the cell will divide after mitosis in a process called cytokinesis in which the cytoplasm is divided and two daughter cells are formed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis and cytokinesis produce two genetically identical daughter cells. Each continuous, double-stranded DNA molecule makes one chromosome. DNA wraps at regular intervals around pro-teins called histones, forming chromatin. Interactions between parts of the histones further compact the DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -In mitosis a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells. It is important that the daughter cells have a copy of every chromosome, so the process involves copying the chromosomes first and then carefully separating the copies to give each new cell a full set.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. It occurs concurrently with two types of nuclear division called mitosis and meiosis, which occur in animal cells.
