Question
Both unicellular and multicellular organisms undergo mitosis. What are the differences, if any, observed in the process between the two?
✓

Answer

In unicellular organisms, mitosis is a method of asexual reproduction. E.g., in bacteria, mitosis results in formation of identical daughter cells. However in multicellular organisms, mitosis helps in growth and repair of cells and tissues. E.g., repair of damaged skin through production of new skin cells.
