Mitosis is a cellular process in which the replicated chromosomes of a cell are separated into two pairs of identical genetic material. Mitosis, together with cytokinesis, results in the division of a cell into two identical daughter cells. It is through mitosis and cytokinesis that eukaryotic cells like our own replicate.

Mitosis takes place after interphase, which is the part of a cell's life in which it carries out all of its normal functions, such as the synthesis of proteins, uptake of nutrients, etc.

Must spores occur in mitosis?

Spores are produced through a specialized form of cell division called meiosis, not mitosis. Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division that results in the formation of haploid spores with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. These spores will eventually undergo mitosis to form new multicellular organisms.

Does mitosis occur in the phloem?

No, mitosis does not occur in the phloem. Mitosis is the process of cell division, and in the phloem, specialized cells called sieve elements are responsible for transporting sugars. These sieve elements are formed via a process called differentiation, not mitosis.
