MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Mitosis is essential for asexual reproduction, regeneration, and growth. It does not make sex cells or gametes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Offspring created through asexual reproduction (mitosis) are genetically identical to their parent, but the germ cells created during meiosis are different from their parent cells.

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.
