#Mitosis Mitosis is a fundamental process by which a single cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells. This crucial mechanism of cell division plays an essential role in growth, development, and tissue repair within multicellular organisms. During mitosis, the cell's chromosomal content is duplicated and evenly distributed to ensure each new daughter cell inherits a complete set of chromosomes and hence, genetic information. This highly regulated and precise stage of the cell cycle involves several steps, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, each contributing uniquely to the successful division and reproduction of cells.
