1. Mitosis is a kind of cell division in which the number and form of chromosomes remain the same as that of the parental cell.
2. It occurs in the somatic cells.
3. Mitosis helps in the replacement of old or dead cells because the number of chromosomes in a cell does not vary after division during mitosis.
4. Mitosis produces two physically and genetically identical cells.
5. Thus, growth, repair, and regeneration all require mitosis.
