Answer 1

(A) Amitosis is cell proliferation that does not occur by mitosis, the machanism usually identified as essential for cell division in eukaryotes.(B) A type of cell division results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

Answer 2

Amitosis is a type of simple cell division involving division of nucleus and cytoplasm without involving division of dna and formation of spindle fibres .

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a cell divides without halving the number of chromosomes.It is mainly seen in somatic cells.Usually 2 cells are produced by one division.

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which number of chromosomes is halved.It is usually seen in gametes. 4 haploid cells are produced by each division.

Cytokinesis is the process of division of cytoplasm.
