2.4 discuss the role and importance of mitosis in growth, repair and asexual reproduction
Growth - zygote divides repeatedly by mitosis for embryonic development. so important for the continuity of life
- meristems
- important for the growth of plants
Tissue repair - tissue that is cut divides by mitosis to produce new genetically identical cells that cover wounds and join cut edges together
Asexual reproduction - organism divides by mitosis to produce genetically identical oganism
