Detailed explanation-1: -A mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction as the result of the cell cycle is two identical cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a phase of the cell cycle in which a cell’s nucleus is divided into two nuclei, each with an equal quantity of genetic material. It is an asexual reproductive process that occurs in unicellular organisms. Thus, mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs during the asexual reproduction process.

Detailed explanation-3: -The different types of asexual reproduction are binary fission, budding, vegetative propagation, spore formation (sporogenesis), fragmentation, parthenogenesis, and apomixis. The organisms that reproduce through asexual means are bacteria, archaea, many plants, fungi, and certain animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis does not occur during asexual reproduction. Meiosis is the process of producing gametes (eggs and sperm). Mitosis, on the other hand, is simply the process of cell division. This is the process that animals are going through during regeneration.

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.
