Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: B), replication of DNA does not occur in mitosis.
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 occurs in somatic cells; this means that it takes place in all types of cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. Prior to each mitotic division, a copy of every chromosome is created; thus, following division, a complete set of chromosomes is found in the nucleus of each new cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer option C. Production of gametes from diploid cells is the correct answer. C. This is not one of the functions of mitosis.
