Mitosis

Mitosis divides genetic information during cell division
The primary result of mitosis is the division of the parent cell's genome into two daughter cells.

nuclear division characterized by the splitting of chromosomes, by spindle formation and so forth, cell division with the formation of threadlike structures ...

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.

The nuclear division producing two daughter nuclei identical to the original nucleus. A type of nuclear division that produces two daughter nuclei identical to the parent nucleus normally just prior to cell division. See endomitosis, cytokinesis.

Overview of the major events in mitosis
In biology, mitosis is the process of chromosome segregation and nuclear division that follows replication of the genetic material in eukaryotic cells.

Mitosis is the process of forming (generally) identical daughter cells by replicating and dividing the original chromosomes, in effect making a cellular xerox. Commonly the two processes of cell division are confused.
