Cells of multicellular organisms (most plants & animals) go through mitosis in order to increase the number of cells in the body so that the body may develop initially, develop in later stages of life, and repair itself. The latter function, in most plants and some animals, may include regenerating (re-growing) a lost body part, such as an arm of a starfish.
Unicellular organisms (e.g. bacteria, yeast, some fungi) undergo mitosis as their means of reproduction. Instead of "having children" or "laying eggs" the single-celled organism simply divides itself into 2 single-celled organisms.
Meiosis is undergone by male germ cells in species which reproduce sexually (rather than asexually) in order to form sperm or pollen cells and by germ cells of females of the same species in order to form egg cells. When the sperm and egg (or pollen and egg) unite then a new cell with the same whole number of chromosomes as the parents is formed and this new cell develops into an individual of the species
What else can I help you with?
What process do cells undergo when organisms grow?
Cells undergo cell division through mitosis, where a cell duplicates its genetic material and splits into two daughter cells. This process allows organisms to grow by increasing the number of cells in their body.
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.
What is the purpose of mitosis in single-celled organisms?
The purpose of mitosis is to have a cell division which allows the cell to reproduce. During mitosis the cell is divided into separate organisms.Single celled organisms are no longer single celled if they undergo mitosis. If it is a single celled organism that is supposed to become a multicellular organism, it will undergo mitosis to grow.
What type of cells use mitosis?
Mitosis occurs in Multicellular Organisms (Plant & Animal Cells).
Which sentence describes a way that multicellular and unicellular organisms are ALIKE?
Both multicellular and unicellular organisms undergo cellular processes like growth and reproduction in order to survive.
Multicellular organisms are able to make new cells to replace damaged cells?
Mitosis
When do organisms go through the mitosis process?
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

Do all organisms begin as a single cell-?
Yes, all organisms begin as a single-celled zygote. Then they undergo meiosis and mitosis to replicate if they are multicellular or stay the same if they are single celled organisms.

Which sentence describes a way that multicellular and unicellular organisms are ALIKE?
Both multicellular and unicellular organisms undergo cellular processes like growth and reproduction in order to survive.
Is each cell reliant on the other cells for mitosis or are they independent?
In multicellular organisms, cells are not reliant on each other for mitosis. Each cell can undergo mitosis independently to divide and produce new cells. However, cells within a tissue or organ may communicate with each other to coordinate their growth and division.
What type of Cell carries out mitosis and meiosis?
Somatic cells carry out mitosis, while germ cells carry out meiosis. Somatic cells are body cells that undergo division for growth and repair, while germ cells are sex cells that undergo division to produce gametes for sexual reproduction.
Do only animals undergo mitosis?
noEvery organism with a nucleus can undergo mitosis. Prokariyotes cannot undergo mitosis
What types of cells in your body undergo mitosis?
Most cells in the human body undergo mitosis, such as skin cells, red blood cells, and cells that line the digestive system. These cells continuously divide and replenish to maintain the body's normal functions.
