It is that phase of the cell cycle where the nucleus of a cell is divided into two nuclei with an equal amount of genetic material in both the daughter nuclei.
In each cycle of cell division, the two daughter cells are formed from the parent cell.
The cell is also referred to as equational cell division since the chromosome number in the parent cell and daughter cell remains the same.
In plants, mitosis could lead to the growth of vegetative parts of the plant like root tip, stem tip, etc.
Segregation and combination do not happen in this process.
