Biology
Genetic stability - in the absence of mutations, there is no genetic variation as the parent is identical to the daughter as DNA replication ensures close to 100% fidelity with negligible error rate.
Growth - organisms can create new cells for growth or repair damaged cells
Asexual reproduction - it allows organisms such as Amoeba to divide by asexual reproduction.
- Mitosis Vs ...
Mitosis can be compared to a couple of different cell actions. But what makes it different?Mitosis is the process of which a cell divides and creates copies of itself, the main purpose of this being to help the organism grow or to replace cells that are...
- #80 Question 3
(a) The diagrams show a cell in various stages ofthe mitotic cell cycle. Name the stage represented by each diagram, and arrange them in the correct sequence. (b) Describe the role of spindle microtubules in mitosis. (3 marks) (c) The graph below shows...
- #32 Summary Of Cell And Nuclear Division
1. Growth of a multicellular organism is a result of parent cells dividing to produce genetically identical daughter cells. 2. During cell division the nucleus divides first, followed by division of the whole cell. 3. Division of a nucleus to produce...
- # 30 Mitosis
Mitosis is a nuclear division giving rise to genetically identical cells in which the chromosome number is maintained by the exact duplication of chromosome. Significance of mitosis production of geneticlly identical cells: It keeps the chromosome...
