1 answer

The process of mitosis and cytokinesis is used by humans for several purposes:

  • Growth (II): Mitosis is essential for the growth of the body as it allows for the increase in the number of cells.
  • Repair (III): Mitosis helps in repairing damaged tissues or organs by producing new cells.
  • Replacement (IV): Mitosis is also responsible for replacing dead or worn-out cells, such as skin cells.

However, humans do not use mitosis and cytokinesis for asexual reproduction (I), as humans reproduce sexually.

Given the options provided, the correct answer is:

c) II, III, and IV only.
