Answer:

NO. Mitosis involves one set of nuclear division and results in two nuclei that are exactly the same as the original. On the other hand, meiosis involves two sets of nuclear divisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division normally occurring at the sites of growth and development of new tissues and also at sites of repair. It also occurs during asexual reproduction of organisms. Each mitotic cell division is a process that follows distinct phases.

Each mitotic division results in the formation of two daughter cells which are genetically identical to the parent cell, that is they have the same number and type of chromosomes as the parent cell.

During telophase, a nucleolus develops in the nucleus of each daughter cell. The cytoplasm divides in the process called cytokinesis. An invagination develops and finally splits the cell into two daughter cell each with its own nucleus and cytoplasm.
