There are three main reasons for cell division through mitosis: growth, repair/healing, and asexual reproduction. Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells and occurs in somatic cells. It involves four stages - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase - where the chromosomes condense and align before separating and moving to opposite poles. Cytokinesis then divides the cytoplasm.
