Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is a form of asexual reproduction?
A
Mitosis
B
Meiosis
C
Cell division
D
Interphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction as the result of the cell cycle is two identical cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction includes fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis, while sexual reproduction is achieved through the combination of reproductive cells from two individuals.

Detailed explanation-5: -mitosis, a process of cell duplication, or reproduction, during which one cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells. Strictly applied, the term mitosis is used to describe the duplication and distribution of chromosomes, the structures that carry the genetic information.
