During mitosis, the DNA of a cell is replicated and then evenly distributed into two daughter cells. Initially, during the S phase of the cell cycle, each chromosome is duplicated, resulting in two identical sister chromatids. These chromatids are then separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell during mitosis, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes. This process is necessary for growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction, as it maintains genetic consistency across cells.
