Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Mitosis is an example of what type of reproduction?
A
sexual reproduction
B
asexual reproduction
C
aerobic respiration
D
transfer reproduction
Explanation: 

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: -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-3: -All prokaryotes reproduce asexually. A mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction as the result of the cell cycle is two identical cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a means of asexual reproduction, whereas meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis. In eukaryotes, asexual reproduction uses the same process as when the cells in your body divide via mitosis, so we’ll learn that process now. Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other, and to the parental cell.
