Explore the essential functions of mitosis in asexual reproduction, growth, and tissue repair. Discover how mitosis contributes to the regeneration of limbs and the development of organisms. Understand the role of mitosis in the formation of new bulbs, corms, stem tubers, rhizomes, and runners in plants. Learn about the process of cloning through cuttings and micropropagation. Delve into mitosis in animal tissues and the potential errors that can occur.

The Vital Roles of Mitosis Asexual reproduction MITOSIS Repair and regeneration Growth
Asexual Reproduction • Corms and bulbs (garlic, gladioli) • Stem tubers (potato) • Rhizomes (ginger, iris) • Stolon / runners (strawberry) Ginger plantlets growing from rhizomes Gladioli corm producing new corms. Stem tuber reproduction in potato Strawberry runners
Asexual Reproduction • Cuttings • Micropropagation Magnolia propagation from cuttings. Cauliflower plantlet cloned through micropropagation in growth medium
