Explain why mitosis can be thought of as cellular immortality.

Dear jgandg-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. Mitosis
is basically the replication or regeneration of a cell (or cell
parts), or put more simply, the natural biological and physical
cloning of a cell (or cell parts). Carried out infinitely without
interruption or hindrance this growth or regeneration can
theoretically result in cellular immortality.

I hope you find that my answer exceeds your expectations. If you have
any questions about my research please post a clarification request
prior to rating the answer. Otherwise I welcome your rating and your
final comments and I look forward to working with you again in the
near future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.

Best regards;
