Thank you!

Answer 11

As a foot note :
\(\bigstar\) Mitosis is the process in which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus, into two identical sets in two daughter nuclei while amitosis is Direct cell division by simple cleavage of the nucleus, without spindle formation or the appearance of chromosomes.

\(\bigstar\) In simple terms
mitosis a cell create an exact copy of itself.
amitosis a cell's nucleus splits into two.
