Detailed explanation-1: -During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by certain genes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The result of mitosis is two identical daughter cells, genetically identical to the original cell, all having 2N chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The daughter cells are genetically identical because they each contain the same diploid chromosome complement as the original parent cell. It can be seen in the stages shown above that mitosis maintains the chromosome number or complement of a cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.
