The correct response is:

In an adult animal, mitosis is primarily for repair and maintenance, while in a baby, it is mainly for growth and development.

In adult animals, the rate of growth has slowed down, and mitosis primarily serves to replace dead or damaged cells and maintain tissues. In contrast, babies are in a rapid growth phase where mitosis is essential for overall growth and development of tissues and organs.
