Answer:
Mitosis is the type of cell division that can be used by asexually reproducing organisms.
Explanation:
Mitosis is a sequence of events that, in the end, one cell, called the mother cell, gives rise to two other cells, the daughter cells. The main feature of mitosis is that daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell. Besides that, no genetic recombination occurs during the process, that is, daughter cells are copies of the mother cell. Thus, this type of cell division is related to asexual reproduction, organism or colony growth and tissue regeneration.
Meiosis, in turn, is somewhat different. Although it is also a sequence of events, in meiosis the parent cell gives rise to four other cells. The main feature is that these four generated cells contain only half of the parent chromosomes. Thus, meiosis relates to the formation of gametes and sexual reproduction.
