Answer:
The process of mitosis generates new cells that are genetically identical to each other. Mitosis helps organisms grow in size and repair damaged tissue. ... Some organisms can use mitosis to reproduce asexually. The offspring of asexual reproduction are genetically identical to each other and to their parent.
Cells make copies by dividing into two cells in a process called mitosis. As the parent cell divides, it passes on its genetic instructions to both copies. The new cells look and function just like the parent. Eventually, each of the new cells will divide, too.
Dead cells can make new cells in order to grow and also to replace old dead cells. The process by which new cells are made is called cell division.
