Generally speaking, all cells except for nerve cells store energy to drive chemical processes during cell division. So before undergoing Mitosis, they first prepare themselves that results to their growth in size until they had stored enough energy, then the cells are ready to divide themselves.

During mitosis, cells are dividing to produce two identical daughter cells. The process involves the duplication and separation of the cell's chromosomes to ensure each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material. Mitosis is crucial for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues in multicellular organisms.

No, plant cells DO undergo mitosis, but there are some minor changes.

During the end of telophase and the beginning of cytokinesis in animal cells, the cell membrane pinches in half to form the 2 new daughter cells. However, in plant cells, a thicker cell plate forms between the 2 new cells, and they pinch off and the outside hardens into a new cell wall.
