Mitosis is a form of reproduction - which is currently one of the features of the definition of life. It could also be considered growth, which is another feature of life.

Which generation undergoes mitosis in sporic life cycle?

The generation that undergoes mitosis in the sporic life cycle is the haploid gametophyte generation. This generation produces gametes through mitosis which will fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.

If a cell ordinarily has 8 chromosomes how many will it have during mitosis and how many will its daughter cells have after mitosis?

If the cell has 8 chromosomes, it should have 8 at the very beginning of mitosis. However during the interphase, specifically the S phase, the chromosomes are duplicated which means that for most of the cell cycle, the cell has 16 chromosomes. However after the cells splits, each daughter cells is left with 8 chromosomes, which is identical to the number of chromosomes in the original parent cell. Hope this helps!


In science what are the four characteristics of life?

There are 8 (but #1 is always top priority!)Are they made of cells?Do they respond to their environment?Do they exchange gasses? (do they breath?)Do they eliminate waste?Do they reproduce?Do they grow?Do they need water?Do they need energy?And those are the 8 characteristics of life. hope I helped!


Do neurons undergo mitosis during their life cycle?

No, neurons do not undergo mitosis during their life cycle. Once they are fully developed, neurons typically do not divide or replicate like other cells in the body.

What percentage of a cell life is spent in prophase?

About 90% of mitosis is spent in prophase, however, mitosis is only 8% of the total cell life. Thus, a cell spends about 7% of it's life in prophase. The cell spends most of it's life in Interphase. Interphase is 90% of the cell's TOTAL life span.To answer your question, the cell spends about 7% of it's life in prophase.

Where does mitosis occur in zygotic life cycle?

Mitosis occurs during the zygotic life cycle in the zygote stage. After the fertilization of egg by sperm, the zygote divides through mitosis to give rise to a multicellular embryo. This process of mitotic division continues to generate all the cells of the developing organism.
