Correct answers: Repair and Growth.
Explanation: In multicellular organisms mitosis produces new somatic cells for growth and for replacing/repairing tissues. Producing offspring via sexual reproduction uses meiosis (to make gametes). Note: mitosis can produce whole offspring in asexual reproduction (budding, binary fission in single-celled eukaryotes), but for sexual offspring meiosis is required.
