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: -Both sexual and asexual organisms go through the process of mitosis. 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: -Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells from a single diploid cell. Mitosis occurs in nearly every cell in the human body. It is essential for our body’s growth, development and repair.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction-Mitosis is used in the production of genetically similar offspring. For example budding of hydra and yeast, binary fission in amoeba, etc.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is not always “asexual reproduction” Many multicellular organisms can regenerate; that is, they can regrow lost body parts by making new cells by mitosis.
