Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied.
Detailed explanation-3: -The daughter cells are genetically identical because they each contain the same diploid chromosome complement as the original parent cell. Mitosis maintains the chromosome complement and ensures that each daughter cell receives all the genetic information needed to carry out its activities and function.
Detailed explanation-4: -When division is complete, it produces two daughter cells. Each daughter cell has a complete set of chromosomes, identical to that of its sister (and that of the mother cell).
Detailed explanation-5: -Key messages. Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells from a single diploid cell. Mitosis occurs in nearly every cell in the human body.
