THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Scientists can bioengineer skin in a laboratory to treat severe burns and other types of skin injuries. This bioengineered tissue is grown from living cells. The cellular process that enables the cells to grow and develop into tissue is-
A
conjugation
B
meiosis
C
budding
D
mitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, oriented mitotic division of epithelial cells, especially ESCs, is particularly important for wound healing.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process of mitosis generates new cells that are genetically identical to each other. Mitosis helps organisms grow in size and repair damaged tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA ultimately determines the traits of an organism through gene expression. Gene expression, in turn, is realized via protein synthesis and other cellular functions, dictating structure, metabolism, etc.
