This does not function properly if the cells have an excess or a lack of chromosomes.
Mitosis' primary goal is to ensure that each daughter cell formed has a complete and perfect set of chromosomes. The mitotic division is a form of reproduction that adds new individuals to the population of single-celled eukaryotes. Throughout its life, mitosis replaces worn out and old cells with new cells. Except for germ cells, most eukaryotic cells divide in such a way that the ploidy or number of chromosomes remains constant.ĭuring the growth and development, an organism's body is filled with cells through the process of mitosis.
It is a stage of the cell cycle in which newly formed DNA is separated and two new cells with the same number and type of chromosomes as the parent nucleus are formed.
