Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the time when people refer to “cell division, ” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. Mitosis is a fundamental process for life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a process where one cell divides into two cells (Fig. 2.46). Chromosomes in the original cell are duplicated to ensure that the two new cells have full copies of the necessary genetic information. The process of mitosis generates new cells that are genetically identical to each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -When cells become damaged or die the body makes new cells to replace them. This process is called cell division. One cell doubles by dividing into two. Two cells become four and so on.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is the process in which a eukaryotic cell nucleus splits in two, followed by division of the parent cell into two daughter cells. The word “mitosis” means “threads, ” and it refers to the threadlike appearance of chromosomes as the cell prepares to divide.
