Mitosis is the the process at which body cells divide and reproduce. The daughter cells will have the same amount of chromosomes as the parent cells after the process of Mitosis is over. Meiosis is the process at which reproductive cells divide and reproduce. The daughter cells will have 1/2 the number of chromosomes as the parent cells.

"Mitotic cell division" is a long-winded way of saying mitosis. So what's that, anyway?

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a cell splits into two cells that are genetically identical to each other, and to the original cell (mother-cell). By "genetically identical" we mean that the genes, and indeed the entire base sequences, on the chromosomes are exactly the same, barring rare mutations that may occur.

Mitosis is important for multicellular plants and animals to grow. To take ourselves, humans, as an example, we all start life as a single cell, the fertilized egg (zygote). This divides over and over again to form eventually an adult body with about one hundred trillion cells, all with exactly the same versions of the genes on their chromosomes.

Mitosis forms all cells except for sperm cells, which are formed by Mieosis.
