Asked by unknown
How does mitotic cell division contribute to multicellular organism growth?
It reduces the number of cells by dividing, allowing for more efficient resource use.
It increases the number of cells, contributing directly to the size and mass of an organism
It alters the genetic materials in the cells, increasing diversity within tissues of the organism
It produces cels with different genetic codes, so the organism can better adapt to
environmental changes

Correct answer:
- "It increases the number of cells, contributing directly to the size and mass of an organism."
Why: Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells from one parent cell, preserving chromosome number. This increases cell number for growth, tissue development, repair and replacement. The other statements are incorrect: mitosis does not reduce cell number, does not deliberately alter genetic material to increase diversity, and does not produce cells with different genetic codes (that occurs in meiosis and mutation).
