Explain the significance of mitosis.
Advertisements
उत्तर १
(i) It helps to maintain linear heredity of an organism by keeping the chromosome number constant in daughter cells.
(ii) It helps in the development of an organism from zygotic stage to adult stage.
(iii) It is the means of repair and regeneration of cells.
(iv) Asexual reproduction is accomplished only through mitosis.
(v) Details of mitosis are similar in all organisms which emphasizes the unity of life.
उत्तर २
- As mitosis is equational division, the chromosome number is maintained constant.
- It ensures equal distribution of the nuclear and the cytoplasmic content between the daughter cells, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Therefore, the process of mitosis also maintains the nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio.
- The DNA is also equally distributed.
- It helps in the growth and development of organisms.
- Old and worn-out cells are replaced through mitosis.
- It helps in the asexual reproduction of organisms and vegetative propagation in plants.
