Answer:

It is very important because mitosis is basically replicating your DNA to make more cells that are exact replicas of each other. This is essential because if they are not exact replicas your body's immune system might not recognize it and so it will attack its own body's cell.

There are certain checkpoints throughout mitosis to ensure that everything is going ok, but if we suppose the errors pass the checkpoint and the cell divides from one to two daughter cells. If there is a genetic defect, where one daughter cell has more and one daughter cell has less chromosomes, both will be affected by it. This is called Nondisjunction which is the result of failure of chromosomes to separate during mitosis. This leads to new cells with either extra or missing chromosomes; a condition called aneuploidy.

SO what happens, they might be killed by body's own immune system. There might be apoptosis, which is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms

Describe how you get energy indirectly from the food that you eat
lidiya [134]
<span>Since we are not able to get energy directly from the food we eat, a particular process needs to take place that converts molecules to Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP. This requires that the food first be broken down by being digested. As digestion takes place, the body uses the small molecules to make ATP.</span>
