When a single cell divides by mitosis, two identical daughter cells are produced. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Interphase: This is the phase where the cell prepares for division. The DNA in the cell is copied resulting in two full sets of chromosomes.

2. Prophase: The chromosomes condense and become visible. The nuclear envelope breaks down and the mitotic spindle begins to form.

3. Metaphase: The chromosomes align at the equator of the cell. The mitotic spindle, a structure made of microtubules, attaches to the chromosomes.

4. Anaphase: The sister chromatids (identical copies of a chromosome) separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.

5. Telophase: A new nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes. The chromosomes begin to decondense, or loosen.

6. Cytokinesis: The cell splits into two, each with an identical set of chromosomes.

So, the end product of mitosis is two cells that are identical to the original cell, each with the same number of chromosomes.
