Detailed explanation-1: -In unicellular organisms such as bacteria, mitosis helps in asexual reproduction as it produces an identical copy of the parent cell. Another example of the Eukaryotic unicellular organism is “Amoeba.” An amoeba uses cell division for the production of new individuals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both unicellular and multicellular organisms undergo mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -All eukaryotic organisms-including aquatic plants and algae-grow through the process of mitosis. Mitosis is a process where one cell divides into two cells (Fig.

Detailed explanation-4: -Paramecium Reproduction. Asexual Reproduction in paramecium is by binary fission. The mature cell divides into two cells and each grows rapidly and develops into a new organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is important to multicellular organisms because it provides new cells for growth and for replacement of worn-out cells, such as skin cells. Many single-celled organisms rely on mitosis as their primary means of asexual reproduction.
