Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is the process by which a eukaryotic cell divides its nucleus to produce two genetically identical daughter nuclei.
Recall that during mitosis, the nuclear envelope breaks down and then reforms once the chromosomes have been separated.
Recognize that mitosis consists of one continuous sequence of phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, which together constitute a single nuclear division.
Note that after mitosis, cytokinesis usually occurs, dividing the cytoplasm and completing cell division, but this does not count as an additional nuclear division.
Conclude that in one complete mitotic event, there is exactly one round of nuclear division.
