Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two daughter cells, each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.
Recall that mitosis consists of several stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, followed by cytokinesis.
During mitosis, the chromosomes are duplicated and evenly distributed to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
At the end of mitosis, cytokinesis occurs, which divides the cytoplasm of the parent cell into two daughter cells.
Conclude that the result of mitosis is two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same DNA content as the original cell.
