Raul is learning about fetal development, but is confused about the role mitosis plays in the fetus growing. In 3-5 sentences, explain what mitosis does in fetal development. Include how the same DNA is in EVERY cell, and how the fetus grows in size (10th grade Biology).
Mitosis is the reason the fetus grows. To do this, it doubles and splits chromosomes. By doing this, growth occurs.
hello, um I don't want the answer I just wanna know where you got the information. What lesson was it on?
@idk, This is taught throughout all of Unit 8
Mitosis is the process of cell division that plays a crucial role in fetal development. During mitosis, a parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells, each containing the same DNA. This ensures that the genetic information remains consistent in every cell of the growing fetus. As more cells are produced through mitosis, the number of cells in the fetus increases, leading to its growth in size. This continuous cell division allows for the development and differentiation of various organs, tissues, and systems in the growing fetus.
