Solution

Mitosis:

  1. Mitosis is a cell division process in which a single cell (the mother) divides into two genetically identical young cells (the daughters).
  2. Mitotic division occurs in meristematic tissues such as the lateral and apical cambium.
  3. Mitosis is the stage of the cell cycle's division process when the nucleus' DNA is divided into two equal sets of chromosomes.
  4. The vast majority of cell divisions in your body take place during mitosis.
  5. During development and growth, mitosis adds new cells to an organism's body and replaces old, worn-out cells with new ones throughout its existence.
  6. Mitotic divisions are a type of reproduction used by single-celled eukaryotes such as yeast to produce new individuals.
