Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. The process begins with a single cell called the “parent” cell, which replicates its DNA and divides its cytoplasm into two identical “daughter” cells. During mitosis, the nucleus of the parent cell divides into two identical nuclei, which are then distributed into the daughter cells. The cell then divides into two cells and the two daughter cells, each with its own nucleus, move apart. During the final step of mitosis, the daughter cells finish dividing and the process is complete.
