The true statement about mitosis is that "Mitosis results in the formation of two new cells with 23 pairs of chromosomes"

WHAT IS MITOSIS:

  • Mitosis is the process of cellular division which produces two new daughter cells that each possess the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

  • Mitosis is employed for growth and cellular repair in living organisms. In humans, mitosis results in two cells that possess 23 pairs of chromosomes each i.e. 46 chromosomes in each cell.

  • Mitosis is opposed to meiosis in the sense that the latter produces four daughter cells with a reduced number of chromosomes.

Therefore, the true statement about mitosis is that "Mitosis results in the formation of two new cells with 23 pairs of chromosomes".
