Detailed explanation-1: -Equational division or mitosis is the type of cell division that is associated with the asexual mode of reproduction.
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: -Mitosis. Asexual reproduction uses the process of mitosis to create the identical copies (clones) of the parent cell. It therefore leads to offspring that show no genetic variation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is essential for asexual reproduction, regeneration, and growth. It does not make sex cells or gametes.
