NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Some organisms can use mitosis to reproduce asexually. The offspring of asexual reproduction are genetically identical to each other and to their parent. Most single-celled, microorganisms reproduce asexually by duplicating their genetic material and dividing in half.

Detailed explanation-2: -It happens in the cells of the body known as the somatic cells and produces cells related to growth and repair. Mitosis is essential for asexual reproduction, regeneration, and growth. It does not make sex cells or gametes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis plays a role in sexual reproduction of organisms. The male and female sex cells (i.e., egg and sperm) are the end result of meiosis; they combine to create new, genetically different offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is not always “asexual reproduction” Many unicellular organisms can reproduce asexually, cloning themselves by mitosis. Many multicellular organisms can regenerate; that is, they can regrow lost body parts by making new cells by mitosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explain. 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.
