What is mitosis?

Mitosis is the process by which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It occurs in all living organisms and serves as a means of growth, development, and repair. During mitosis, the DNA in the cell is replicated, and the chromosomes are separated into identical sets, each of which is then packaged into its own nucleus. This process involves a complex series of steps that are regulated by a variety of molecular mechanisms. Overall, mitosis plays a critical role in maintaining the genetic stability and cellular homeostasis of a wide range of biological systems.
