Question

A seedling grows into a small plant. What kind of division causes this — mitosis or meiosis?

Answer 1

Answer:

A seedling grows into a small plant with the help of mitotic division. Seedling is the initial stage of a plant which has risen from a seed.

So, for a seedling to grow into a small plant , it needs to accumulate cell for its growth.

Mitotic division is a type cell division in which from a diploid (2n) mother cell, two equal daughter cells are produced.

That means the daughter cells are also diploid in nature and that promotes growth of tissue.
