What is the purpose of Mitosis?
A
Growth of an organism and Repair of damaged tissue
B
To help the body get rid of extra cells
C
To increase the amount of classwork you have to do
D
To get rid of the nucleus
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. The giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera can grow as much as 30 centimeters (cm) in length in a single day.

Detailed explanation-2: -The aim of mitosis is to separate the genome and ensure that the two daughter cells inherit an equal and identical complement of chromosomes (Yanagida 2014).

Detailed explanation-3: -When part of a tissue breaks, then there are cells lost. So, mitosis will create tons of new cells in periods of time to fill the gap and make the tissue bigger again. This ensures that the tissue is back to normal and can function properly. It’s like a wound healing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is used for growth and repair and produces diploid cells identical to each other and the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Meiosis is important for three main reasons: it allows sexual reproduction of diploid organisms, it enables genetic diversity, and it aids the repair of genetic defects.
