Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How does cell division help an injury like a skinned knee?
A
Cell division allows damaged parent cells to produce two perfect and daughter cells and the parent cells to disappear.
B
Cell division doesn’t allow damaged cells to reproduce, but the undamaged cells will reproduce and ultimately heal the injury.
C
Cell division allows for damaged cells to become undamaged daughter cells and ultimately heal the injury.
D
Cell division allows damaged daughter cells to becomes undamaged parent cells and ultimately heal the injury.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In order for a skinned knee to heal, new cells must be formed. In order for a plant to grow, new cells must form. The process of new cells forming includes mitosis, where the chromosomes must be carefully divided into the new cells so they are identical to the original cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the cells undergo oriented mitotic division to repair the wound by natural process, the impaired skin can complete perfect repair; and when the cell division orientation is random, there will form fibre hyperplasia, abnormal tissue structure and eventually lead to scar formation.

Detailed explanation-3: -During a wound, skin cells will constantly replicate themselves through mitosis to make more copies of themselves, ultimately creating more skin to cover our wound.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
