Correct answer: new cells to replace old damaged cells.

Explanation: Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells so tissues can grow and replace cells that are worn out or damaged. It does not repair an existing damaged cell (that's cell repair/repair mechanisms) nor enable one cell to take over another's function.
