Example
Mitosis is essential for the growth and development of multicellular organisms, as it results in the production of new cells.
In asexual reproduction, organisms reproduce through mitosis, giving rise to genetically identical offspring.
Mitosis is a fundamental process in tissue repair, allowing damaged cells to be replaced with identical copies through cell division.
Somatic cells undergo mitosis, ensuring that each daughter cell retains the same genetic information as the parent cell.
The cell cycle involves phases such as interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis, collectively contributing to mitosis.
