In order for an organism to grow, replace damaged cells, or reproduce (one-celled organisms), DNA must be replicated and then divided into two new nuclei in the daughter cells. Mitosis is the process of making sure that the DNA is divided properly so that each new cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.

What process produces new somatic Cells?

Cell division through mitosis produces new somatic cells. During mitosis, a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. This process is important for growth, repair, and maintenance of the body.


Which process of cellular division results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell?

What phase of mitosis does the cell store extra energy?

During the G2 phase of interphase, the cell stores extra energy in the form of ATP and other molecules needed to fuel the upcoming division process, including mitosis. This energy will later be used to drive important cellular processes during mitosis.


What are two cellular specializations that result from mitosis?

By using mitosis multicellular organisms can 1. repair broken areas where cells have been damaged and they can also 2. grow and develope more areas. Mitosis is basically the process of division of cells.

What steps occur in cellular mitosis?

Cellular mitosis is a process that involves several steps: prophase (chromosomes condense), metaphase (chromosomes align at the cell's equator), anaphase (chromatids separate and move to opposite poles), and telophase (chromosomes decondense and nuclear membrane reforms). Cytokinesis then completes the process by dividing the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.


What is the importance of mitosis to a cell?

Mitosis is the process through which cells divide to produce two new daughter cells. It is an extremely important process for cells because it produces new cells to replace those that have become old or those that cannot function properly.


Is thread an example of mitosis?

No, a thread is not an example of mitosis. Mitosis is a cellular process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells, while a thread is a thin strand of a material such as cotton, wool, or fiber.
