mitosis is the splitting of the parent cell into 2 new identical daughter cells. identical because the cell replicates its own DNA (called DNA replication) before the cell splits, and when it does the cells are exactly like the parent cell, which can function exactly like the parent cell.

The daughter cells have identical nuclei. The original nucleus had its DNA copied, and mitosis divides the copied DNA into two identical nuclei.

they have the same # and set of chromosomes..during the S phase the chromosomes are duplicated so instead of 2 sets u now have 4..the cell goes thru mitosis and at telophase it then splits the 4 sets of chromosomes it has back into its 2 original sets, which are exact duplicates of the parent cell
