Mutations can be passed down to offspring through meiosis, not mitosis.
Meiosis
Meiosis produces more genetic variation and diversity in offspring compared to mitosis. This is because during meiosis, two rounds of division occur, leading to the creation of haploid cells with unique genetic combinations through processes like crossing over and independent assortment. Mitosis, on the other hand, results in two identical diploid daughter cells.
The two forms of a gene, one from each parent, are distributed to offspring during meiosis when sex cells are formed. Each parent contributes one allele of a gene to the offspring, determining the genetic make-up and traits of the offspring.
Yes, mitosis does occur in the ovaries and testes. In the ovaries, mitosis is involved in the production of ova (eggs) through the development of ovarian follicles. In the testes, mitosis plays a role in the production of sperm through the process of spermatogenesis.
No it doesnt change. The chromosomes will stay at the same number unless there is a mutation through the process of meiosis.

Mitosis does occur in sexual reproduction, but it is not part of the process of sexual reproduction itself. Instead, mitosis is responsible for the growth and repair of cells in the organism. During sexual reproduction, gametes are produced through meiosis, a process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half to create genetically diverse offspring.
The chromosomes number is halved during cell division through meiosis, not mitosis.

Either through the process of mitosis or meiosis.

Quite a bit, especially with replication in meiosis and mitosis.
All the cells that divide in your body, except for sex cells, which divide through meiosis, divide by mitosis.
Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. However, sexual reproduction requires the combination of genetic material from two parents to create offspring with genetic variation. This variation is achieved through meiosis, where the chromosome number is halved and genetic recombination occurs.
