Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
All forms of asexual reproduction use ____ to grow new cells and organisms.
A
mitosis
B
meiosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some organisms can use mitosis to reproduce asexually. The offspring of asexual reproduction are genetically identical to each other and to their parent. Most single-celled, microorganisms reproduce asexually by duplicating their genetic material and dividing in half.

Detailed explanation-2: -All prokaryotes reproduce asexually. A mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction as the result of the cell cycle is two identical cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -In budding, a new organism grows by mitosis and cell division on the body of its parent. Budding produces offspring genetically identical to its parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: A form of asexual reproduction used by a single-celled organism to produce two identical daughter cells is binary fission.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction includes fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis, while sexual reproduction is achieved through the combination of reproductive cells from two individuals.
