When new organisms are formed by mitotic cell division, it is a form of asexual reproduction.
Plants can reproduce both sexually (through seeds formed by the fusion of male and female reproductive cells) and asexually (via methods like vegetative propagation, fragmentation, or spore formation).
No, not all cells reproduce asexually. While some cells such as bacteria and yeast can reproduce asexually through processes like binary fission or budding, multicellular organisms reproduce sexually through the fusion of gametes.
During Mitosis the cell creates an exact replica of the DNA and the cell as a whole. When an offspring is formed asexually the parent and offspring are also identical. When an offspring is formed sexually half the genetics of the parents are passed on to the offspring.
Ascomycota reproduce sexually through the formation of specialized structures called asci, which contain spores called ascospores. These ascospores are formed through the process of meiosis, resulting in genetic recombination. Ascomycota can also reproduce asexually through the formation of spores called conidia.
No, sexually reproduced organisms are not genetically identical to their parents. They inherit a unique combination of genetic material from both parents, resulting in genetic variation. This genetic variation is essential for evolution and adaptation.
The cell division of body cells where an identical cell is formed is called mitosis. During mitosis, a parent cell divides to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. This process is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues in multicellular organisms.
Binary fission in prokaryotic organisms is similar to mitosis and cytokinesis in single-celled eukaryotic organisms as they both result in two daughter cells being formed. However, binary fission lacks the phases of mitosis seen in eukaryotic cell division, such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Instead, binary fission directly splits the cell into two identical daughter cells.
Mitosis in agricultureAsexual Reproduction: Some organisms produce genetically similar offspring through asexual reproduction. For example; hydra reproduces asexually by budding. The cells at the surface of hydra undergo mitosis and form a mass called bud. Mitosis continues in the cells of bud and it grows into a new individual. The same division happens during asexual reproduction or vegetative propagationin plants. Mitosis in medicineMitosis is important for the maintenance of the chromosomal set; each cell formed receives chromosomes that are alike in composition and equal in number to the chromosomes of the parent cell.Following are the occasions in the lives of organism where mitosis happens: Development and growth: The number of cells within an organism increase by mitosis. This is the basis of the development of a multicellular body from a single cell i.e., zygote and also the basis of the growth of a multicellular body.Cell Replacement: In some parts of body, e.g. skin and digestive tract, cells are constantly sloughed off and replaced by new ones. New cells are formed by mitosis and so are exact copies of the cells being replaced. Similarly, RBCs have short life span (only about 4 months) and new RBCs are formed by mitosis.Regeneration: Some organisms can regenerate their parts of bodies. The production of new cells is achieved by mitosis. For example; sea star regenerates its lost arm through mitosis.

Cells formed during mitosis are called daughter cells. These cells are genetically identical to the parent cell from which they were formed.
