- Advantages Of Mitosis
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...

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...

Comparison between Asexual and sexual reproduction
Asexual and sexual reproduction: Major differences
| Asexual reproduction | Sexual reproduction |
| 1. It involves no formation and fusion of gametes | It involves formation and fusion of gametes |
| 2. It is uniparental | It is generally biparental except Taenia, Fasciola etc |
| 3. Reproductive units are somatic cells of parent | Reproductive units are germ cells of parent |
| 4. It involves only mitotic division | It involves meiosis during gamete formation |
| 5. Offspring are genetically similar to parents | Offspring are genetically different from parents |
| 6. It occurs by binary fission or multiple fission or budding or fragmentation | It occurs by gametogenesis followed by fertilization. |
