Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.
Recall that mitosis consists of several phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, followed by cytokinesis.
During these phases, the duplicated chromosomes are aligned, separated, and moved to opposite poles of the cell.
Cytokinesis is the final step where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.
Therefore, the process of mitosis produces two daughter cells from one parent cell, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent.
