Solution

Mitosis is an equational division, during this process chromosome number of daughter cell, REMAIN SAME as that in the PARENT CELL. This type of division mainly takes place in somatic cells. In the mitosis two daughter cell formed, they are alike to parent cell in the number and type of chromosome. So due to mitosis, the number of chromosomes in the cell remains the same therefore the division occurred in the parent cell.
