Question 19 options:

reproduction


growth and repair of tissues


sperm and egg cell formation


fertilization

Answer 1

In multicellular organisms, mitosis primarily results in **growth and repair of tissues**. While mitosis is involved in asexual reproduction in some single-celled organisms, in multicellular organisms, it is crucial for the growth of tissues and the replacement of damaged or dead cells.

The other options relate to processes such as meiosis (sperm and egg cell formation) and fertilization (the union of sperm and egg), which are not the direct result of mitosis.
