Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells, each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.
Recognize that mitosis is used for growth and to replace worn-out cells, and it occurs in somatic (non-reproductive) cells.
Recall the stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, followed by cytokinesis, which is the division of the cytoplasm.
During cytokinesis, the cell's cytoplasm divides, creating two separate daughter cells.
Each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell, maintaining the same chromosome number, which is why the correct answer is 'Two'.
