Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The importance of mitosis in eukaryotic cells is?
A
Growth and Repair
B
Formation of sex cells (gametes)
C
Reproduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis helps in maintaining an equal number of chromosomes in each separated daughter cell after division. This process is responsible for the growth and development of multicellular organisms. Mitosis repairs all the damaged tissues, and in recovery of damaged organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is used to produce new body cells for growth and healing. Mitosis is required for the growth, repair, and regeneration of dead and damaged cells. Mitosis produces genetically and morphologically identical cells. Asexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms involves mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -It is also used for repairing the injured tissues or replacing the worn-out tissue by regenerating new cells. Mitosis refers to the splitting of chromosomes in the eukaryotic cells during the cell division process.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is important to multicellular organisms because it provides new cells for growth and for replacement of worn-out cells, such as skin cells. Many single-celled organisms rely on mitosis as their primary means of asexual reproduction.
