Question

1. why is mitosis important (2 reasons)? why are new cells formed through mit is cytokinesis?

Explanation:

1. For mitosis importance: First, it enables growth in multicellular organisms by producing more identical cells to increase size. Second, it repairs damaged or worn-out tissues by replacing injured cells with genetically identical ones.
2. For new cells via mitosis: Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells, which ensures that new cells have the same DNA and function as the parent cell, maintaining consistent tissue structure and function.
3. For cytokinesis: It is the final stage of cell division, where the cytoplasm of a parent cell splits to form two complete, separate daughter cells after nuclear division (mitosis or meiosis).

Answer:

1. Two reasons mitosis is important:

• It supports growth of multicellular organisms by generating more identical cells.
• It repairs damaged/worn-out body tissues by replacing injured cells.

1. New cells are formed through mitosis to produce genetically identical daughter cells that match the parent cell's DNA and function, preserving tissue integrity.
2. Cytokinesis is the process where a parent cell's cytoplasm divides to form two distinct daughter cells after nuclear division.
