The correct responses regarding the point of mitosis are:

  • To help a person grow
  • To repair damaged tissues

Mitosis is primarily involved in cell division for growth and repair. However, it does not play a role in the formation of reproductive cells; that process involves meiosis. Therefore, "To make reproductive cells" is not a correct option for mitosis.

The correct answers are:

  • To help a person grow
  • To repair damaged tissues
