Mitosis is the process
in which chromosomes are distributed equally to daughter cells. It is a process
in cell division that divides the cell in the middle forming threadlike
material called chromatin. This chromatin eventually condenses into chromosomes
that separate longitudinally into two parts. A part of the chromosome is then
retained in each of the two new cells which resulted from the original cell.
Simply put, this is
the process in which a cell divides to form two new daughter cells. With each
daughter cell obtaining the same character of chromosomes that came from the
mother cell.
