If mitosis didn't occur, any part of a living being where cells are destroyed (stomach, kidneys etc) for whatever purpose, would cease to function after a relatively short amount of time (a few years at best, depending on the amount of cells that part normally has). A living being's body parts would also never grow. They would stay the same size since they were born. The only upside is that, without mitosis, cancer wouldn't occur.

What would happen if cytokinesis occurred without mitosis?
the cell would not form
What is the longest part of mitosis?
There are five stages of mitosis, beginning with interphase and ending with telophase. Interphase is the longest phase, during which the centrioles and DNA replicate and preparations are made for mitosis to occur.
What would happen if there was zero variation between all of the organisms on earth?
Evolution cannot occur.
What would happen if the cell cycle proceeded normally except that cytokinesis did not occur?
The result would be a single cell with two identical nuclei.
What are the 4 steps of Mitosis and what is the end result of Mitosis?
The 4 steps are prophase,metaphase,anaphase, and telophase. The end result for mitosis is telophase, but if you are talking about the cell cycle it would be cytokinesis.
When you scrape your knee does mitosis occur?
no because it happen to me
What would happen if the cell went through mitosis but not cytokinesis?
Cell division would not occur.
Do crossovers usually occur during mitosis?
No, cross-overs generally happen during Meiosis I, although it is possible for a cross-over to occur during mitosis.
Must spores occur in mitosis?
yes , it is essential for mitosis to occur in an amoeba in order for the cells to reproduce
What phase in a cell cycle does mitosis happen?
Normal cell activities occur not in mitosis, but in a cell cycle in a general. This part of cell cycle is called interphase. Mitosis starts when the cell starts dividing, not when a cell is carrying out normal function.
Must mitosis occur in budding?
Mitosis must occur in budding.
When would mitosis occur in amoeba?
Amoeba reproduces by binary fission .
At what point in mitosis does cytokinesis occur?
Mitosis occurs during the last phase- Telophase.
What would happen if mitosis stopped working?
we;d die
What would happen if mitosis became uncontrolled?
Tumor grows
What if mistakes occur during cell division?
yes mutations do occur when errors happen during mitosis
What would happen if cytokinesis occurred without mitosis?
the cell would not form
