What animals undergo mitosis?

Most animals undergo mitosis to grow, repair damaged tissues, and replace old or dying cells. This includes mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish, among others. Mitosis is a fundamental process in the life cycle of multicellular organisms.


Name the 2 forms of cell division?

Meiosis- cell division that produces gametes or sex cells for reproduction Mitosis- cell division that produces identical, "daughter" cells for things like skin regeneration or replacing dead cells.


Where in the human body does mitosis take place?

Mitosis takes place in our bodies mainly to repair things like our skin cells (which are constantly shedding and being repaired) and damaged cells in our body as well as organ tissues. Mitosis is a form of ASEXUAL reproduction which occurs in plants when they reproduce (only one parent is involved). This is why parent plants are all identical to their offspring as there is no variation in genes. This is because ALL of the genes are passed from that one parent onto their offspring so the offspring fully resemble the parent. However, as humans, we have 46 chromosomes and cannot have a baby ourselves. Therefore, the process of Meiosis (sexual reproduction) takes place. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, only 23 chromosomes go to the egg and 23 of the mother's chromosomes go to the egg, making 46 chromosomes in total. Therefore, only HALF of the mother's and father's chromosomes are donated to the offspring causing variation. This is why their offspring never fully resemble one parent and no two offspring resemble each other genetically - unless they're twins! (but yet still, their fingerprints differ.) Therefore, Mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction and Meiosis is sexual reproduction. Both are extremely vital to us. Mitosis is therefore, very useful in itself as in humans, it does not contribute in the process of reproduction, but helps in repairing our body tissues and cells which is extremely vital.

Are Mitosis and cytokinesis are required for asexual reproduction?

Yes, mitosis and cytokinesis are required for asexual reproduction. Mitosis is the process by which cells divide to create new identical cells, while cytokinesis is the physical division of the cytoplasm to separate the two daughter cells. Both processes are essential for the replication of cells in asexual reproduction.


Do all cells divide at same rate in mitosis explain?

No, all cells do not divide at the same rate in mitosis. The rate of cell division can vary depending on the type of cell, its stage in the cell cycle, and external factors such as growth factors or signals from neighboring cells. Some cells may divide rapidly, while others may divide more slowly or even be in a resting state.

An audio amplifier cannot employ?

Audio amplifiers are not able to employ others since they are inanimate objects.


Organs repair themselves through a process of?

regeneration, where damaged tissues are replaced by new, healthy cells that restore normal function. This can involve cell division, migration, and differentiation to restore the structure and function of the organ. However, not all organs have the same capacity for regeneration, with some having more regenerative potential than others.


Can you be self-employed and an employer at the same time?

Yes. If you employ yourself you're self-employed, and if you also employ others, you are an employer.


Why should we employ you over the others wait?

I'm really good.


Are non poisonous snakes really non poisonous?

Absolutely. Non-venomous means exactly that... Species that don't employ venom to subdue their 'prey' usually employ the constriction method.

Why are some phases of mitosis longer than the others?

Some phases of mitosis are longer than others because different stages have different tasks or functions. Therefore depending on the task it has to do, or how complicated a phase is, one might be longer than another that has n easier job. :)


What is the time taken to complete mitosis?

It varies, cell to cell, species to species, age to age. In round numbers, the doubling time for a bacterium like E. coli is a half hour, whereas the doubling time for a eukaryotic cell is probably more on the order of several hours. However, you really can't generalize too much here because cells tend to undergo more mitosis during development than they do in adults and some species undergo far more rapid mitosis than others. For example, mouse embryonic stem cells divide much faster than human embryonic stem cells.


Is a lizard a umbrella species?

No. Lizards are not a species; they are a suborder with thousands of known species.. Some lizard species may be umbrella species while others might not be.
