Mitosis is the division of cells with the diploid number of chromosomes. This means that the daughter cells produced are identical to the parent cell. This is the kind of cell division that occurs in your body when reproductive cells are not being made. Mitosis is used for replacing old cells (cells die all the time) or for growth.
