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: -To grow like the size of an adult, the cells of babies tend to divide faster as compared to adults. The cells present in adults are in differentiated form and can carry out specific functions, thus, cell division doesn’t need to be frequent here.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. Mitosis is a fundamental process for life.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis builds a person with an identical set of chromosomes in every cell. And meiosis generates reproductive cells with new combinations of gene variations.
