Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which process allows for an organism to increase the number of body cells during development?
A
meiosis
B
budding
C
mitosis
D
conjugation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of mitosis generates new cells that are genetically identical to each other. Mitosis helps organisms grow in size and repair damaged tissue. Some species of algae are capable of growing very quickly.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Most of the time when people refer to “cell division, ” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell proliferation is the process of generating an increased number of cells through cell division. Both cell division and growth are tightly linked to the cell cycle and its regulation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -Growth. Growth refers to an increase in size either through an increase in the number of cells or through an increase in the size of each individual cell. In order for growth to occur, anabolic processes must occur at a faster rate than catabolic processes.
