Answer:

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells, each with the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent cell.

When a parent cell divides more times than usual during mitosis, the division of chromosomes between the chromosomes would not be proper. For example, a daughter cell may end up with one chromosome less than the parent cell. This ultimately results in genetic disorders.
