what is mitosis?

Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell.  If the parent cell is haploid (N), then the daughter cells will be haploid.   If the parent cell is diploid, the daughter cells will also be diploid.

N ? N

2N ? 2N

This type of cell division allows multicellular organisms to grow and repair damaged tissue.
