Mitosis and mitotic activity

Hi lotusbud,
Mitosis is a process of cell division which results in the production of two daughter cells from a single parent cell. The daughter cells are identical to one another and to the original parent cell.

Mitotic activity has to do with the presence of dividing (proliferating) cells. Cancer tissue generally has more mitotic activity than normal tissues.
Kind regards
