GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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: -Growth. Growth refers to an increase in size either through an increase in the number of cells or through an increase in the size of each individual cell. In order for growth to occur, anabolic processes must occur at a faster rate than catabolic processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction occurs by cell division during mitosis to produce two or more genetically identical offspring. Sexual reproduction occurs by the release of haploid gametes (e.g., sperm and egg cells) that fuse to produce a zygote with genetic characteristics contributed by both of the parent organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -When cells become damaged or die the body makes new cells to replace them. This process is called cell division. One cell doubles by dividing into two. Two cells become four and so on.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is the process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes and then segregates them, producing two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division. Mitosis is generally followed by equal division of the cell’s content into two daughter cells that have identical genomes.
