Mitosis is the process of cell division that ensures growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms. It results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. The process occurs in four main stages: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, followed by Cytokinesis. In plant cells, mitosis primarily takes place in meristematic tissues like root tips and shoot apices, whereas in animals, it occurs in somatic cells. The ability to control mitotic division is vital for preventing diseases such as cancer, which results from uncontrolled cell division.
