Answer: To split into two or more daughter cells
Explanation:
Interphase is the first stage in cell division (mitosis and meiosis). During the stage, the parent cell acquire nutrients, increase in size and duplicate its cellular contents (chromosomes, organelles etc) before heading into four other stages (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase) meant to generate the individual daughter cells capable of independent living.
A contractile vacuole works just the same as the name suggests, in that it expands and contracts. The point of the contractile vacuole is to pump water out of the cell through a process called osmoregulation, the regulation of osmotic pressure. It occurs in freshwater protists, but mainly in the kingdom Protista as a whole.
In unicellular organisms such as bacteria, mitosis helps in asexual reproduction as it produces an identical copy of the parent cell. ... In the case of multicellular organisms, mitosis helps in growth and repair by producing more number of identical cells.
