Question

❤Explain the significance of mitosis.❤

Answer 1

$\huge\pink{Mitosis}$

⭐ $\huge{ Growth }$

Mitosis is essential for the growtg and development of multicellular organisms. A fertilized egg develops into an embryo and then into an adult by repeated mitotic divisions.

⭐$\huge{ Cell\: size }$

Mitosia maintains the size of a cell. If a cell becomes large, then it enters into mitosis.

⭐$\huge{ Genetic\: Stability }$

Mitosis maintains the same type and number of chromosomes in two daughter cells.

⭐$\huge{ Repair }$

Mitosis replaces old dead cells by new cells.

⭐$\huge{ Reproduction }$

Mitosis brings reproduction in unicellular organisms like amoeba, bacteria etc.

⭐$\huge{ Healing }$

Mitosis produces new cells for healing the wounds and for regeneration.

Answer 2

Significance of mitosis:

1)It helps in maintaining the same number of chromosomes in daughter cells after division.

2)It is responsible for growth and development of multicellular organisms.

3)It helps in repairing of damaged tissues.

4)It helps the cell to maintain proper size.

5)Helps in growth and development of zygote into adult through embryo formation.

6) Helps in formation of new cells for repair and regeneration of lost parts and healing of wounds.

7) Helps in asexual reproduction by fragmentation, budding etc.

8) Mitosis restores the nucleo-plasmic ratio.
