Division of body cells results in a greater variety of traits
Answer:
Mitosis
Explanation:
A zygote is a fertilized egg. This zygote needs continuous growth in order to develop into a grown adult. The growth involves generating new somatic or body cells through cell division. A parent cell in the zygote divides to produce identical copies of itself. This way, genetic information is passed on the the new arising daughter cells. To do this, the parent cell must first replicate its DNA and the process of separating this duplicated DNA into two identical cells is known as mitosis.
Mitosis is a type of cell division that involves the production of daughter cells that are genetically identical copies of the parent cell and also the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
As cells divide, duplication occurs. As cell multiplies, growth is occurring in the organism. The zygote keeps undergoing growth division (mitosis) till it gives rise to all the cells in an adult.
On the other hand, Meiosis is also a type of cell division but it is a division mainly involved in reproduction not growth. Reproductive cells divide to give rise to daughter cells (gametes) that have a reduced number of chromosomes.
“The following are the steps of the lysogenic cycle:1) Viral genome enters cell2) Viral genome integrates into Host cell genome3) Host cell DNA Polymerase copies viral chromosomes4) cell divides, and virus chromosomes are transmitted to cell's daughter cells5) At any moment when the virus is "triggered", the viral genome detaches from the Host cell's DNA and enters stage 2 of the Lytic cycle. While it is unclear as of yet what exactly constitutes a "trigger" that activates the viral DNA from the latent stage entered in Step 4, common symptoms that appear to "trigger" the viral DNA are hormones, high stress levels (adrenaline), and free energy within the infected cell.An example of a virus that enter the lysogenic cycle is herpes, which first enters the Lytic cycle after infecting a human, then the lysogenic cycle before travelling to the nervous system where it resides in the nerve fibers as an episomal element. After a long period of time (months to years) in a latent stage, the herpes virus is often reactivated to the Lytic stage during which it causes severe nervous system damage”.
