She is OK, but scraped her knee and elbow. To replace these damaged cells, her body would use mitosis.

True
False

Answer 1

False. To replace damaged cells, her body would actually use the process of tissue regeneration, not mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division that occurs in normal growth and development, while tissue regeneration involves the replication and differentiation of specific cell types to repair injured tissues.
