Question

Are dead cells replaced by mitosis?


Open in App
Solution

Mitosis:

  1. Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a cell divides into two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
  2. In meiosis the germ cell divides into four sex cells, each cell consisting of half of the parent cell's chromosomes.
  3. Mitosis is necessary for cell growth, repair, and regeneration.
  4. Dead cells are replaced by mitosis since the number of chromosomes is not changed in a cell after division in mitosis.
