A possible consequence of errors during mitosis could be that two daughter cells don't contain the correct amount od chromosomes. This would result in the cell killing itself during interphase because of this genectic error.

Do mitosis creates diversity in genetic potential?
This is a minor pathway - during mitosis, occasional transcription errors occur and a point mutation may be incorporated into a daughter cell. The major pathway, however, is meiosis and sexual reproduction, in which half of the genome is swapped out and replaced with half the genome of another person.
At the end of telophase 1 are daughter cells diploid or haploid?
Mitosis is the process in which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus, into two identical sets in two daughter nuclei.[1] It is generally followed immediately by cytokinesis, which divides the nuclei, cytoplasm, organelles and cell membrane into two daughter cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle - the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells, genetically identical to each other and to their parent cell. Mitosis divides the chromosomes in a cell nucleus.Mitosis occurs exclusively in eukaryotic cells, but occurs in different ways in different species. For example, animals undergo an "open" mitosis, where the nuclear envelope breaks down before the chromosomes separate, while fungi such as Aspergillus nidulans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) undergo a "closed" mitosis, where chromosomes divide within an intact cell nucleus.[2] Prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus, divide by a process called binary fission. The process of mitosis is complex and highly regulated. The sequence of events is divided into phases, corresponding to the completion of one set of activities and the start of the next. These stages are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During the process of mitosis the pairs of chromosomes condense and attach to fibers that pull the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell. The cell then divides in cytokinesis, to produce two identical daughter cells.[3] Because cytokinesis usually occurs in conjunction with mitosis, "mitosis" is often used interchangeably with "mitotic phase". However, there are many cells where mitosis and cytokinesis occur separately, forming single cells with multiple nuclei. This occurs most notably among the fungi and slime moulds, but is found in various different groups. Even in animals, cytokinesis and mitosis may occur independently, for instance during certain stages of fruit fly embryonic development.[4] Errors in mitosis can either kill a cell through apoptosis or cause mutations that may lead to cancer.
Does Mitosis occur in mature muscle tissue?
Even with age Mitosis continues. It is when mitosis ceases that the organism will die. Mitosis occurs only in eukaryotic cells (an organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within membranes. ), and the process varies in different species.The process of mitosis is fast and highly complex. In animals, cytokinesis and mitosis may occur independently, such as in embryonic development. Errors in mitosis can either kill a cell through apoptosis or cause mutations that may lead to certain types of cancer. If mitosis ceases, an organism will lose the first barrier against infections, such as cells of the immune system. Consequently, in absence of mitosis, the human body would be overrun by a legion of infectious diseases, or 'opportunistic' pathogens such as pseudomonas would assume control.
How many chromosomes does a human cell that has been produced by the process of meiosis have?
After meiosis 2 in human cells are 23 chromosomes. Meiotic division occur only in reproductive cells because when spermatozoid and ovum combine they form again 46 chromosomes(23 pairs of chromosomes).
What are two possible errors of Charles' law experiment?
pressure did not remain constant or if the amount of gas did not remain constant.
What is the cause of tetraploid?
Errors in cell division. Can occur during mitosis or in metaphase I of meiosis.

How do the daughter cells produce by mitosis compare to the original cells?
Pretty much the same save possible replication errors and uneven distribution of organelles.
Do neww cells have the same or different genetic material as the parent cell?
In the future, be more specific in your question. It is impossible for one to know whether you meant mitosis, meiosis, or otherwise from your question. Assuming mitosis, they are genetically identical outside of mutations.

How meiosis maintain a constant number of chromosome within a species?
Meiosis creates gametes (sperm and ova/eggs) which are involved in sexual reproduction. The result of meiosis is cells with half the number of chromosomes as a somatic (non-sex) cell. This ensures that when the gametes join during sexual reproduction, the resulting organism has the correct number of chromosomes (half from each gamete). Thus meiosis maintains the chromosome number.

Do daughter cells compare in number with the original cell before mitosis?
Cells produced after mitosis are clones - genetically identical to the parents.
