Mitosis
1) The process of division of somatic cells in which each daughter cell receives the same amount of DNA as the parent cell.
2) The process of nuclear division in cells that produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell.
3) Mitosis is a cellular process that replicates chromosomes and produces two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division. Generally, mitosis is immediately followed by the equal division of the cell nuclei and other cell contents into two daughter cells.
