While there were many species of mites, springtails, and other tiny bugs in our bin, we were missing predators. I ordered a few million nematodes (a kind of tiny roundworm) by mail. Within a few weeks (long enough for the adult flies to die off and their larva to have been eaten) we had a fly-free bin.
All multicellular organisms use cell division for growth and the maintenance and repair of cells and tissues. Single-celled organisms use cell division as their method of reproduction. Somatic cells divide regularly; all human cells (except for the cells that produce eggs and sperm) are somatic cells.
Brendan has 30+ answers in. Biology. Mitosis is a form of cell division, which single-celled eukaryotic organisms use to reproduce. In multicellular organisms, mitosis is used for growth and repair. From a fertilized egg to a new born baby to an adult, all that growth comes form mitosis. The stomach lining and our skin, for example, replace themselves often, as does much damaged tissue and again this is due to mitosis.
