Mitosis is the type of cell division in which cell a diploid somatic cell divides in such a way that the no. of chromosomes in the daughter cell remains constant as in parent cell nucleus. In mitosis, the nuclear chromatin first appears as long threads which shorten and thicken to form the typical number of chromosomes. Each chromosome splits lengthwise to double in number, with half of each set then moving toward opposite poles of the cell to become reorganized into two new nuclei having the normal number of chromosomes. Mitosis results in creating two cells that are genetically identical. It is vital for growth and the repair and replacement of cells, replacing old skin cells for example.

Before the Meiosis takes place, there is another process Mitosis which takes place, the process of mitosis produces 2 daughter cell and than meiosis doubles the cells, therefore the process of meiosis combinely produces 4 daughter cells from 1 parent cell.
