Detailed explanation-1: -The process of mitosis generates new cells that are genetically identical to each other. Mitosis helps organisms grow in size and repair damaged tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both sexual and asexual organisms go through the process of mitosis. It happens in the cells of the body known as the somatic cells and produces cells related to growth and repair. Mitosis is essential for asexual reproduction, regeneration, and growth. It does not make sex cells or gametes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is used for growth and repair and produces diploid cells identical to each other and the parent cell. Meiosis is used for sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is the reason we can grow, heal wounds, and replace damaged cells. Mitosis is also important in organisms which reproduce asexually: this is the only way that these cells can reproduce. This is the one key process that sustains populations of asexual organisms.
