Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asexual reproduction in P. chromatophora requires mitosis to divide the genetic material and equal distribution of cyanelles during cytokinesis to ensure each daughter cell receives the necessary organelles. The S phase of the cell cycle is also necessary for DNA replication during mitosis. Meiosis, which involves the formation of haploid cells, is not required for asexual reproduction.
