Many simple eukaryotes reproduce by asexual reproduction, using only mitosis. Assuming the environment is stable and the organism is well adapted to its environment, why is this a better form of reproduction for these organisms?
Eukaryotic cells undergo mitosis, which produces two identical daughter cells. These cells are identical to each other and to the original parent cell. From the options below, select ALL of the reasons why a eukaryotic cell undergoes mitosis and the cell cycle.
A) asexual reproduction
B) growth of the organism
C) repair of damaged cells
D) replacement of lost cells
E) production of gametes for sexual reproduction

Describe sexual reproduction in bacteria.
