The division that results in daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell is mitosis.

Here's why:

1. In the cell cycle, the cell undergoes a process of division to produce new cells. This process can occur through either mitosis or meiosis.

2. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. It is typical of ordinary tissue growth.

3. On the other hand, meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.

4. Therefore, the division that results in daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell is mitosis, not meiosis.
