Solution

Mitosis:
Asexual reproduction is a method of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced without the fusion of gametes or without changing the number of chromosomes.
Mitosis is a phase of the cell cycle in which a cell's nucleus is divided into two nuclei, each with an equal quantity of genetic material.
It is an asexual reproductive process that occurs in unicellular organisms.
Thus, mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs during the asexual reproduction process.
