Detailed explanation-1: -Chromosomes in the original cell are duplicated to ensure that the two new cells have full copies of the necessary genetic information. 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: -The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells. If not corrected in time, mistakes made during mitosis can result in changes in the DNA? that can potentially lead to genetic disorders?.

Detailed explanation-3: -Only sexually reproductive organisms utilize meiosis. The role of the process is to produce sex cells and to repair genetic defects in germ line cells (the sex cells).

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a way of making more cells that are genetically the same as the parent cell. It plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and development of our bodies as well. Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old, lost or damaged.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is the type of cell division that is required for the growth and repair of the body. Meiosis is cell division that produces gametes, or sex cells for the body. Mitosis occurs in all somatic cells of the body, which are all cells that aren’t gametes.
