What is the primary purpose of mitosis in multicellular organisms?

• To produce gametes

• To repair and replace damaged cells

• To increase genetic diversity

• To reduce chromosome number

Answer explanation

The primary purpose of mitosis in multicellular organisms is to repair and replace damaged cells. This process ensures that tissues can grow and maintain their function by producing identical daughter cells.

DOK Level 1: Recall

Explain how mitosis maintains genetic continuity.

• By creating identical copies of cells

• By producing genetically diverse cells

• By reducing the chromosome number by half

• By combining genetic material from two parents

Answer explanation

Mitosis maintains genetic continuity by creating identical copies of cells. This process ensures that each daughter cell receives the same genetic material as the parent cell, preserving the genetic information across generations.

What is the role of binary fission in prokaryotic organisms?

• To increase genetic diversity

• To produce identical offspring

• To repair damaged cells

• To form gametes

Answer explanation

Binary fission is a method of asexual reproduction in prokaryotic organisms, resulting in two identical offspring. This process ensures that the genetic material is copied and passed on without variation, producing clones.

How does mitosis ensure genetic continuity in eukaryotic cells?

• By halving the chromosome number

• By duplicating the DNA before cell division

• By mixing genetic material from two parents

• By producing genetically diverse cells

Answer explanation

Mitosis ensures genetic continuity by duplicating the DNA before cell division, allowing each daughter cell to receive an identical set of chromosomes, maintaining genetic consistency across generations.
