CELL DIVISION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Single celled eukaryotic organisms use mitosis for the following reasons:
A
growth
B
repair
C
photosynthesis
D
reproduction
E
respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Single-celled organisms and certain multicellular organisms use mitosis for asexual reproduction. This includes reproduction by fragmentation, as in the case of planaria, and reproduction by budding, as in the case of sea anemones. Many plants reproduce using mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -In single-celled organisms, the act of mitosis is asexual reproduction. Single-celled organisms use mitosis to reproduce and distribute their DNA. Some single-celled organisms reproduce sexually as well.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unicellular asexual organisms reproduce by mitosis. Mitosis results in two identical cells. Multicellular organisms use mitosis to grow and replace dead or damaged cells. Unicellular organisms rely on mitosis to divide into two identical copies.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotes can reproduce both asexually through mitosis and sexually through meiosis and gamete fusion. In mitosis, one cell divides to supply two genetically identical cells. In meiosis, DNA replication is followed by cellular division to produce four haploid daughter cells. These act as sex cells.
