Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is important for three main reasons: development and growth cell replacement and asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process of mitosis generates new cells that are genetically identical to each other. Mitosis helps organisms grow in size and repair damaged tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell membrane pinches in and eventually divides into two daughter cells. The stages of mitosis are: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a process of cell duplication, in which one cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells. In the various stages of mitosis, the cell’s chromosomes are copied and then distributed equally between the two new nuclei of the daughter cells.
