Growth and development
Mitosis
It creates the gametes that allow a species to continue. It also allows the species to include diversity in order to make the species more fit to survive in its environment.
All single celled organisms e.g. Bacteria don't use mitosis .
Mitosis provides growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction in organisms. During mitosis, a cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, ensuring genetic continuity and proper cell function.
The group of eukaryotic organisms in which the nuclear envelope remains intact during mitosis is known as closed mitosis. This is in contrast to open mitosis, where the nuclear envelope breaks down. Closed mitosis is observed in organisms such as fungi and animals.
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
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
Production of gametes is not a function of mitosis, as gametes are produced through a specialized cell division process called meiosis. Mitosis is primarily involved in growth, replacement of cells, and repair of damage from injury in multicellular organisms.
Mitosis does not occur in bacteria, because they are single celled organisms.
A daughter cell produced by mitosis is genetically identical to the parent cell. It has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell and contains identical genetic information. Mitosis plays a crucial role in growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms.
Arguably, the definition of life is cellular mitosis.

Mitosis occurs in organisms to ensure growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. It allows for the production of two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell, helping in the maintenance and regeneration of tissues and organisms.
