Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes. Since the daughter cells have exact copies of their parent cell’s DNA, no genetic diversity is created through mitosis in normal healthy cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Daughter cells are called so because they are capable of further division. In many species, the female counterpart is involved in the process of reproduction. The males though they contribute to the process are not directly involved. Hence, the cells formed as a result of any division are called daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -[ dô′tər ] Either of the two cells formed when a cell undergoes cell division by mitosis. Daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell because they contain the same number and type of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.
