Mitosis in multicellular organisms allows the organism to have more cells, and to replace cells that died or were lost(like an open wound--blood cells would be lost). This is different from the purpose of unicellular organisms because mitosis in unicellular organisms allows reproduction to create more (identical) organisms.
replaces damaged cells such as skin cells that are damaged when you get a cut! - reidellen

What is mitosis used for in single celled organisms?
reproduction
Multicellular organisms are able to make new cells to replace damaged cells?
Mitosis
Know Why mitosis occur in organisms?
MITOSIS is the process by which cell division occurs in organisms for the purposes of growth and differentiation of tissues.
What type of cell does mitosis not produce?
Mitosis does not occur in bacteria, because they are single celled organisms.
What is the process through which prokaryotic organisms reproduce asesually?
Mitosis :)
What is mitosis used for in single celled organisms?
reproduction
When do organisms go through the mitosis process?
mitosis in sexually reproducing organisms is used for growth into a multicellular organism from the initial zygote. mitosis is also used for repair in response to a wound, etc. mitosis is used in asexually reproducing organisms for reproduction.the whole process
Give an example of how mitosis can be used for reproduction?
All single celled organisms reproduce by mitosis, ie. bacteria.
Multicellular organisms are able to make new cells to replace damaged cells?
Mitosis
How do single-celled organisms use mitosis?
All single celled organisms e.g. Bacteria don't use mitosis .
Know Why mitosis occur in organisms?
MITOSIS is the process by which cell division occurs in organisms for the purposes of growth and differentiation of tissues.
What type of cell does mitosis not produce?
Mitosis does not occur in bacteria, because they are single celled organisms.
What are four ways organisms can use mitosis?
What are four ways that organisms can use mitosis!! hurry i need help, im doing my science homework! thanks........ :)
Why mitosis is important for eukaryotic organisms?
it is imptotant becauses kuz occures and then it helps heal the mumike
What is the function of mitosis in multicelluclar organisms?
Growth and development
What organisms use mitosis?
Quite contrary from the previous answer which was 'I do not know that all organisms go through mitosis. I would imagine most do, it is the means by which development occurs, and multicellular organisms are created through this process, perhaps single celled organisms do not go through this process as they are complete as single cell entities. Perhaps we have a biologist out there whom could give us more detail or inform us of exceptions to the rule. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis Mitosis--Cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes' the organisms cells inside of him/her may go through mitosis, but most organisms in order to reproduce actually go through meiosis, the opposite of mitosis when mitosis is asexual (one parent) and meiosis is sexual(2 parents.) most things that go through mitosis would be bacteria. multicellular organisms and unicellular organisms aren't necessarily in either category.
What is the purpose of mitosis in single-celled organisms?
The purpose of mitosis is to have a cell division which allows the cell to reproduce. During mitosis the cell is divided into separate organisms.Single celled organisms are no longer single celled if they undergo mitosis. If it is a single celled organism that is supposed to become a multicellular organism, it will undergo mitosis to grow.
