EXERCISE #3
"Asexual Reproduction of Cells-Mitosis"
Asexual reproduction of cells is called mitosis. Immediately before
this cell division process begins, the DNA of a cell (either haploid or
diploid) duplicates itself creating two identical copies of
molecule (and chromosome). The DNA copies move to opposite ends of the
cell. Then the cell partitions itself into two cells (each with exactly the
same DNA as the original cell). The purpose of asexual reproduction by
mitosis is to create new cells that are genetically identical to the original
Mitosis produces

Haploid mitosis does happen in some organisms,

2. Explain what this mistake creates in the new cells.
For a dividing cell to maintain its original set # in the new cells, it
must duplicate its genetic material prior to beginning mitosis. In addition,
the genetic material must be divided in such a way that no new cell is
missing any DNA, or has more DNA than the original cell.
In Conclusion
Whatever amount of DNA the original cell has prior to mitosis,
its offspring cells will have the same amount
after the process is complete.
