Step-by-step explanation:

a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells.

An example of mitosis is the way the skin cells covering a child's body all multiply while they are growing
