Best Answer

Mitosis is a cellular process in which the replicated chromosomes of a cell are separated into two pairs of identical genetic material. Mitosis, together with cytokinesis, results in the division of a cell into two identical daughter cells. It is through mitosis and cytokinesis that eukaryotic cells like our own replicate.

Mitosis takes place after interphase, which is the part of a cell's life in which it carries out all of its normal functions, such as the synthesis of proteins, uptake of nutrients, etc.
