Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reason why humans are not composed of similar or identical cells in spite of being a product of many mitotic divisions.

Introduction:

Mitosis is a type of cell division, which results in the formation of two identical daughter cells. It only occurs in vegetative cells and the ploidy of the cells remains the same. So, it is also called equational division. The whole process of mitosis completes in four phases, namely, prophase (I phase), metaphase (II phase), anaphase (III phase), and telophase (IV phase).
