Mitosis is the process of cell division wherein the chromosomes replicate and get equally distributed into two daughter cells. The chromosome number in each daughter cell is equal to that in the parent cell, i.e., diploid. Hence, mitosis is known as equational division.

Mitosis is the division that takes place in the somatic cells and forms Diploid daughter cells.
The various phases of mitosis are :
1.Prophase
2.Metaphase
3.Anaphase
4.Telophase
Reason:
During mitosis, the genetic constitution of the daughter cells is equal to that of the number of parent cells. A diploid cell produces four diploid cells. Since, the amount of DNA in daughter cells also remains same or equal to the number of parents cells so it is called as Equational division.
