Answer 1

The correct response to your question is:

Mitosis makes copies of the cell nuclei.

Mitosis is the process by which somatic (body) cells divide to produce two genetically identical daughter cells, allowing the organism to grow and develop by increasing the number of cells. In contrast, meiosis is involved in producing gametes (sperm and eggs) and reduces the chromosome number by half.
