2.1.2 Importance of Mitosis

• Mitosis is essential for replacing damaged or worn-out cells in tissue repair.

  True
• What is an example of the importance of mitosis in asexual reproduction?

  Binary fission in bacteria
• Match the example of mitosis in multicellular organisms with its importance:

  Growth of a seedling ↔️ Increases body size

  Healing a cut on the skin ↔️ Replaces damaged cells
• What is an example of tissue repair that relies on mitosis?

  Healing a cut on the skin
• Mitosis allows organisms to maintain genetic continuity and rapid population growth through asexual reproduction.


  True
• Match the aspect of mitosis with its importance:

  Growth ↔️ Increases body size and tissue complexity

  Repair ↔️ Replaces damaged or worn-out cells
• What is an example of the importance of mitosis in growth?

  Growth of a seedling
• Arrange the steps of mitosis in the correct sequence:

  1️⃣ Prophase

  2️⃣ Metaphase

  3️⃣ Anaphase

  4️⃣ Telophase

  5️⃣ Cytokinesis
• Mitosis is essential for growth and development in multicellular organisms.

  True
• Mitosis is necessary for tissue repair and regeneration by replacing damaged or worn-out cells.


  True
• Match the type of reproduction with its characteristic:

  Asexual Reproduction (Mitosis) ↔️ Creates genetically identical offspring

  Sexual Reproduction ↔️ Combines genetic material from two parents
• Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.

  True
• Steps in embryonic development facilitated by mitosis

  1️⃣ Cell multiplication

  2️⃣ Increase in tissue size

  3️⃣ Growth and development of multicellular organisms
• Mitosis is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration.
• Mitosis is essential for the growth and development of plants.


  True
• The chromosome number remains the same in mitosis.

  True
• Mitosis is a form of cell division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.
• Match the importance of mitosis with an example:

  Growth ↔️ Increases body size and tissue complexity

  Repair ↔️ Replaces damaged or worn-out cells

  Asexual Reproduction ↔️ Creates offspring without combining genetic material
• Mitosis is vital for embryonic development and continued growth in multicellular organisms because it allows cells to multiply and increase tissue size.
• Mitosis is essential for tissue repair, such as healing a cut on the skin.
• Asexual reproduction through mitosis creates genetically identical offspring without the need for combining genetic material.
• Mitosis is an essential process that enables organisms to reproduce asexually
• Mitosis is an example of asexual reproduction in bacteria.
• Match the aspect of mitosis with its importance:

  Growth ↔️ Increases body size and tissue complexity

  Repair ↔️ Replaces damaged or worn-out cells
• Asexual reproduction through mitosis does not involve the fusion of gametes.
• In meiosis, the outcome is four genetically unique daughter cells.
• Growth and development in multicellular organisms depend on mitosis.


  True
• Asexual reproduction through mitosis creates genetically identical offspring.


  True
• Match the role of mitosis in plant growth with its example:

  Growth ↔️ Growth of a seedling into a full-grown plant

  Repair ↔️ Healing of a wound on a plant stem

  Asexual reproduction ↔️ Vegetative reproduction in plants
• Match the aspect with the correct process (mitosis or meiosis):

  Function ↔️ Growth, repair, asexual reproduction ||| Production of gametes for sexual reproduction

  Outcome ↔️ Two genetically identical daughter cells ||| Four genetically unique daughter cells

  Chromosome number ↔️ Remains the same ||| Halved
