Mitosis is important for an organism's life for growth and cell replacement, as it increases cell number, repairs tissues, and produces genetically identical cells for asexual reproduction through cloning.
A mitose é importante para o crescimento e substituição celular em organismos, pois aumenta o número de células, repara tecidos e produz células geneticamente idênticas para reprodução assexuada através da clonagem.
| Front | Mitosis is important in the life of an organism. Give two reasons why. |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. Growth / increase in cell number; *Ignore growth of cells* 2. Replace cells / repair tissue / organs / body; *Ignore repair cells* *Reject bacteria* 3. Genetically identical cells; 'Produces 2 genetically identical cells' does not reach MP1 as well as MP3 4. Asexual reproduction / cloning; Allow example or description |
