3.23 understand that division of a diploid cell by mitosis produces two cells which contain identical sets of chromosomes
Mitosis is when a cell replicates it self to make an identical copy.
A diploid cell is one with 23 pairs of chromosomes.
(you don't need to know the stage names, but its useful to know how mitosis happens.)
Not all diploid cells have 23 chromosomes only human cells??! ;(
