"state the process that divides one nucleus into two genetically identical nuclei"

Mitosis

Explanation:

Mitosis: Mitosis is a cell or nuclear division following the duplicate of the chromosomes, whereby each daughter cell or nucleus has exactly the same chromosomes content as the parent. In other words, mitosis is a cell division in which daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Mitosis takes place during organism's growth, development, and asexual reproduction. in plants mitosis takes place in the terminal bud of the shoot at the tip of the roots and shoots. In animal mitosis occur at growth centres which are everywhere.

Mitosis produce diploid number, in order word, the number of chromosomes in each somatic cell of an organism is called the diploid number (2n)

Example of mitosis is the multiplication of the skin covering a child's body during growth
