Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a form of cell division that takes place in the nucleus, it involves series of steps from prophase to metaphas to anaphase and Telophase. It results in the formation of two daughter cell that are genetically identical with the parent having the same number of chromosome.

Mitosis helps in the formation of new cells, it replaces the old cells with new one. Living things are made up of cells including plants and this cells when worn out are been replace through mitosis division to aid good growth pattern.

Mitosis helps in producing the exact copy of cell from the parent leading to genetically identical offspring having the important features, traits as the parents that can be useful in agriculture.

A actively dividing cells aids growth, water melon is a fruits its growth is aid by mitosis.

Each cells has Identical DNA(Deoxyribonucleic acid) with chromosome located in them.

This chromosome can be doubled to get polyploid.

Polyploid have led us to existence of new varieties of crops such as the seedless water melon, wheat.
