Detailed explanation-1: -In all complex multicellular organisms (eukaryotes), cell duplication occurs by a process called “mitosis” or cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Mitosis is the reason we can grow, heal wounds, and replace damaged cells. Mitosis is also important in organisms which reproduce asexually: this is the only way that these cells can reproduce. This is the one key process that sustains populations of asexual organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a process of cell duplication, in which one cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells. In the various stages of mitosis, the cell’s chromosomes are copied and then distributed equally between the two new nuclei of the daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is for the growth, development, repair of damaged cells and replacement of damaged cells in multi-cellular organisms. Meiosis is the production of gametes for sexual reproduction.
