Mitosis is a process of cell division that serves several key functions in living organisms. Here are the primary functions of mitosis:
- Growth: Mitosis allows for the growth of an organism by increasing the number of cells.
- Repair/Regeneration: Mitosis helps in repairing tissues and regenerating lost or damaged cells.
- Asexual Reproduction: In some organisms, mitosis is a method of asexual reproduction, allowing the organism to produce genetically identical offspring.
If you have specific options in mind, please provide them, and I can help identify which one correctly describes a function of mitosis.
