Here's why:
* Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. This means the DNA is duplicated and then divided equally between the two new cells.
* Meiosis, on the other hand, is a reduction division. It produces four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This is necessary for sexual reproduction.
Therefore, mitosis is the division process that accurately reflects the term "duplication division".
