The goal of mitosis is to duplicate one cell into two genetically identical cells. This process is essential for growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction in organisms. The other options relate more closely to meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number by half for sexual reproduction, but mitosis specifically aims to maintain the same chromosome number in the daughter cells as in the parent cell.
