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 cell's cytoplasm divides, creating two separate cells.
Therefore, the process of mitosis results in two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
