Understand that mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Recall that in humans, somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) are diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
Know that the diploid number of chromosomes in humans is 46, which means each somatic cell has 46 chromosomes.
During mitosis, the parent cell duplicates its chromosomes, resulting in 92 chromatids, but these are divided equally into two daughter cells.
Each daughter cell ends up with 46 chromosomes, maintaining the diploid number, which is the same as the original parent cell.
