During mitosis, the parent cell produces two daughter cells. So the correct response is:

**It produces two daughter cells.**
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct response is:

**Mitosis has checkpoints that must be met to continue the cycle.**

This statement highlights that mitosis involves a more complex regulation system and several phases with checkpoints to ensure proper cell division and DNA integrity, making it longer and more complicated than binary fission.

The best option for healing the widest variety of diseases would be:

**embryonic stem cells.**

Embryonic stem cells have the unique ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body, which provides them with the potential to treat a broader range of conditions compared to other types of stem cells.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct response is:

**They organize and pull the chromosomes apart.**

Microtubules play a crucial role in cell division by forming the mitotic spindle, which organizes and separates the chromosomes during mitosis.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct response is:

**To aid in growth and repair of tissues and cells.**

Mitosis is primarily important for growth, tissue repair, and maintenance in multicellular organisms.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct response is:

**It ensures the daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.**

In asexual reproduction, mitosis is important because it produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell, maintaining the same chromosome number.
