I might not understand your question correctly but here is a possible answer..

A cell can get stuck in mitosis through various reasons. one of them is through inhibition of cyclin dependent kinases or perhaps due to unsatisfied spindle pole checkpoints. The cells that get stuck in mitosis this way will simply not progress further and will not divide. A big chance is that a lot of these cells will go into apoptosis when stuck in this phase for too long. you could check if your cells are stuck in mitosis by measuring the DNA contents with a FACS machine, an increased population with n=2 (or higher) probably reflects a defect in the dividing stage of the cells.

What and the result of mitosis?

Ah interesting question. As you may know mitosis is the division of somatic (non-sex) cells. Mitosis is needed to build up the bulk of cells that make us up. Upon fertilization of the embryo we are all just one cell. To become a huge living organism that we all are we have to build up bulk. Mitosis is your body's way of doing just that. Upon fertilization that one cells divides and divides and keeps dividing until billions of individual cells are made. These cells are not just loosely floating around in the womb. They stay adhered to one another with proteins that are being made at the same time cells are dividing.Its this adhesion to each other that creates the basic premiss for our organs and tissues. All organs or tissue really are, are a bunch of common cells stuck together to create an overall unified function. The cells in your liver for example all function with one goal in mind, to be liver cells. They are distinct from brain cells in that they do what livers do and not brains. This sounds overly simple but that is the jist of it.So mitosis allows for the division and thus "bulking" of many cells into unified masses called organs and tissues. All those many cells that exist in the organs would not exist if first they didn't come from a previously dividing cell, that gave rise to more dividing cells, etc.
