**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Mitosis**: Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. This process is essential for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in organisms. 2. **Types of Cells**: There are two main types of cells in multicellular organisms: somatic cells and germ cells. - **Somatic Cells**: These are non-reproductive cells that make up most of the body tissues and organs. - **Germ Cells**: These are reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) that are involved in sexual reproduction. ...
