Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Mitosis’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.
