* Mitosis is a process of cell division that produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. This means they have the same number of chromosomes.
* Ploidy refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell. For example, humans are diploid (2n), meaning we have two sets of chromosomes.
* During mitosis, the chromosomes are duplicated before the cell divides. Each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes, identical to the parent cell.
Therefore, if the parent cell is diploid (2n), both daughter cells will also be diploid (2n). The ploidy remains the same.
