In humans, mitosis is used for which of the following:
A
Growth
B
Repair
C
Renewal
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is the reason we can grow, heal wounds, and replace damaged cells. Mitosis is also important in organisms which reproduce asexually: this is the only way that these cells can reproduce. This is the one key process that sustains populations of asexual organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a way of making more cells that are genetically the same as the parent cell. It plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and development of our bodies as well. Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old, lost or damaged.

Detailed explanation-3: -Significance of Mitosis It helps in maintaining the same number of chromosomes in daughter cells after division. It is responsible for the growth and development of multicellular organisms. It helps in repairing damaged tissues. It helps the cell to maintain proper size.

Detailed explanation-4: -So the only one here that doesn’t use mitosis is the production of gametes.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process of mitosis generates new cells that are genetically identical to each other. Mitosis helps organisms grow in size and repair damaged tissue.
