The answer is asexual reproduction. This type of reproduction does not involve fusion of gametes. The offspring arise from a single organism and inherit the genes of that parent only. Consequently, there is little variation from parent compared to sexual reproduction.
The studies are designed this way b/c it removes the power of suggestion and the double-blind study keeps both researchers and participants in the dark. So this compared to who is receiving the treatment which is relevant b/c it stops the researchers from accidentally overbalancing the study participants, or unintentionally favoring their assessment of the conclusions.
Mitosis
Mitosis is the part of the cell cycle in which the duplicated genetic material (chromosomes) within the parent’s cell nucleus is separated to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent. Mitosis is important to life because it is involved in the production of new cells for growth and to replace damaged cells. Mitosis occurs in five stages which are; interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (cytokinesis).
