Detailed explanation-1: -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 parent cell transfers its genetic material to its daughter cells through this process. The organisms that reproduce sexually utilize mitosis. It helps increase the number of sex cells and repairs the genetic defects in the particular tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Why is mitosis important to organisms? 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.

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: -The aim of mitosis is to separate the genome and ensure that the two daughter cells inherit an equal and identical complement of chromosomes (Yanagida 2014).
