mitosis, a form of cell division which results in growth because of a n increase in the number of cells.
diploid(2n) is the number of chromosomes in a nucleus.
e.g. for humans 2n=46 ( the diploid number for humans is 46)
In the process of the mitosis a cell will divide into two cells each with a diploid nucleus, they can be described as identical or daughter cells. They are 'identical' because they have the same number of chromosomes and the same set of chromosomes.
