Understand that mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.
Recall that the purpose of mitosis is to ensure that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the parent cell's DNA.
Recognize the stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, followed by cytokinesis, which physically divides the cell.
During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the parent cell is divided into two, resulting in two separate cells.
Conclude that at the end of mitosis, two daughter cells are produced, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.
