Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
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: -One of the most critical growth factors in tissue repair is transforming growth factor beta (TGF-). This growth factor belongs to a superfamily that also includes a number of other factors with wide-ranging functions, such as bone morphogenetic proteins, activins, inhibins and Müllerian inhibiting substance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is required for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. It plays an important role in the development of an organism. In single-celled organisms, mitosis is seen as the process of asexual reproduction. It also helps in the replacement of damaged tissues.
