Best Answer

In order for an organism to grow, replace damaged cells, or reproduce (one-celled organisms), DNA must be replicated and then divided into two new nuclei in the daughter cells. Mitosis is the process of making sure that the DNA is divided properly so that each new cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
