Mitosis is a type of cell division. Its goal is to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. Somatic (body) cells are produced through mitosis.

Interphase is a phase in the cell cycle. During interphase, the cell grows. It also replicates its DNA (synthesis phase) and prepares for mitosis (in the gap phases - G1 and G2).

A cell spends most of its time in interphase. Mitosis is a relatively short process. On average, a cell spends about 10% of its time undergoing mitosis.

Answer:

The goal of mitosis is to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. Mitosis produces somatic (body) cells.
