3.25 Mitosis in action

3.25 Understand that mitosis occurs during growth, repair, cloning and asexual reproduction

- Mitosis involves cells dividing to create genetically identical cells.

Growth:

- One of the ways to grow is to add cells, and of course mitosis does this very thing by increasing the cell count.

Repair:

- Helps repair damaged tissue by replacing the dead or damaged cells with new genetically identical cells.

Asexual Reproduction:

- Creates clones by multiplying cells to reproduce.
