Variation in single celled organisms occurs only when there is a copying error (mutation).

The main function of sex is to produce limited variation.

Mitosis occurs in what types of cells?

Mitosis occurs in all somatic cells of the body, which are any cell that is not a sex cell. It is the process by which a single cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes.


What happens when mitosis occurs?

One cell divides and creates two identical cells.


Why do cells come from other cells?

All cells come from other cells because we all started out as a single fertilized egg. As we under go miosis, the single cell divides and divides. The cells split and reproduces the DNA nad chromosomes and splits. The process goes on and on and never stops.


How does the process of mitosis differ from meiosis in terms of genetic variation and the number of cell divisions?

In mitosis, one cell divides into two identical cells, resulting in no genetic variation. There is only one cell division in mitosis. In meiosis, one cell divides into four cells, each with different genetic material, leading to genetic variation. Meiosis involves two cell divisions.


What is cellplate?

This occurs when a eukaryotic cell divides in mitosis or meiosis. The cell plate forms during telophase and is what divides the cytoplasm for the 2 daughter cells.


When a single cell is divides once by mitosis then what will be the product?

Two exact same cells.


What process occurs in eukaryotic organisms that only reproduce asexually?

In eukaryotic organisms that reproduce asexually, the process of mitosis occurs. During mitosis, the cell's nucleus duplicates its chromosomes and divides into two identical daughter cells. This allows for growth, repair, and reproduction without genetic variation.


Does bacteria perform mitosis?

No, bacteria do not perform mitosis. They reproduce through a process called binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells, not in prokaryotic cells like bacteria.


How does binary fission happen?

Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which a single cell divides into two separate cells. During this process, the DNA of the cell is replicated, and the cell then elongates and divides in the middle, resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells. This process is common in prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria.


What process occurs only in the information of gametes?

During the formation of gametes - a process called gametogenesis - meiosis is a process which only occurs during this period. Meiosis is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction.


What do you call the process where a single-called protist asexually divides into two cells?
