Mitotic Division

Mitotic division is the process by which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It ensures that each new cell has the same genetic material, or DNA, as the original. The process involves copying the DNA, dividing the copied material evenly, and then splitting the cell's contents to form two complete cells. This process is essential for growth, tissue repair, and maintenance in living organisms. It occurs in several stages, including preparation (where DNA is duplicated), alignment, and separation, ultimately resulting in two genetically identical cells ready to perform their functions.
