Question

Which of the following is a function of mitosis?
to make a cell exit the cell cycle
to send chemicals signals throughout the body
• to repair damaged tissue
to cause a cell to grow

Answer 1

to repair damaged tissue

Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells used for growth, replacement and repair of tissues. It does not send chemical signals, force a cell to exit the cell cycle, or directly make a single cell grow (cell growth occurs during the interphase G1 phase).
