The division that results in daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell is mitosis.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. In the cell cycle, the parent cell first duplicates its chromosomes during the S phase of interphase.

2. When the cell enters mitosis, these duplicated chromosomes align in the middle of the cell during metaphase.

3. During anaphase, the sister chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart and move to opposite ends of the cell.

4. Finally, during telophase and cytokinesis, the cell divides into two daughter cells.

5. Each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

In contrast, meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent
