IF THE DEFINITION OF MITOSIS IS: IT IS A TYPE OF KARYOKINESIS IN WHICH THE NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES REMAIN SAME AFTER CELL DIVISION
THEN WHAT ABOUT CYTOKINESIS?
Dear student,
I have provided the most appropriate definition for mitosis. It will clear your confusion hopefully. Please find below the answer:
Mitosis is the mode of cell multiplication that occurs to increase the number of cells with no change in chromosome number or ploidy of the cell. It occurs in all the somatic cells (cells of the body not involved in sexual reproduction) for their growth and repair and also in gametes in the initial stages to increase their number.
Mitosis occurs in two stages- Karyokinesis (division of nucleus) and cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm)
Hope this clears your doubt.
Regards.
