understand that the division of a diploid cell by mitosis produces two cells which contain identical sets of chromosomes

mitosis-form of cell division which results in growth and the growth occurs by an increase in the number of cells#
begin with a cell with nucleus. no. of chromosomes in a nucleus is the diploid (2n)
for humans= 2n= 46
in mitosis the cell divides into 2 identical cells. each with a nucleus. in the nucleus cells are identical 'daughter cells'
1. same number of chromosomes
2. same set of chromosomes
