Mitosis = form of cell division -> growth, by increase in number of cells

Outline
Cell, with nucleus -> Diploid number (2N) number of chromosomes (human 2N = 46 chromosomes/cell)

-> Mitosis = cell divides into two, each with 1 diploid nucleus (identical/'daughter' cells):
  --> same number of chromosomes
  --> same set of chromosomes = same chromosome found in copy nucleus
