name mitosis as the division used in body cells, tumours, root tips and asexual reproduction
explain how mitosis supports cloning by producing genetically identical cells or offspring

[Maximum number: 1]

A species of grass has a diploid chromosome number of 12.

Grass plants can also be produced by asexual reproduction.

New plants are produced from the roots of a parent plant.
