Mitosis

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a cell divides into two daughter cells each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It ensures that every body cell contains the same number of genes as the parent cell. The cell that have 78 chromosomes have undergone mitosis while the other cells that contain 39 chromosomes undergo meiosis.
