Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What process does a multi-cellular organism use to replace its damaged body cells?
A
mitosis
B
meiosis
C
replication
D
transcription
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is the reason we can grow, heal wounds, and replace damaged cells. Mitosis is also important in organisms which reproduce asexually: this is the only way that these cells can reproduce. This is the one key process that sustains populations of asexual organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -In meiosis the germ cell divides into four sex cells, each cell consisting of half of the parent cell’s chromosomes. Mitosis is necessary for cell growth, repair, and regeneration. Dead cells are replaced by mitosis since the number of chromosomes is not changed in a cell after division in mitosis.
