Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is a process of cell division where the nucleus divides to form two identical nuclei.
Recall that one complete cell cycle includes interphase (preparation for division) and the mitotic phase (actual division).
During the mitotic phase, the nucleus undergoes division exactly once to ensure each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
Recognize that the options suggesting multiple divisions (twice, three times, or four times) do not align with the standard definition of mitosis in a single cell cycle.
Conclude that the nucleus divides once during one cell cycle in mitosis.
