Question
which type of cell division is responsible for growth and repair in multicellular organisms?
meiosis
fertilization
binary fission
mitosis
Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. In multicellular organisms, it is responsible for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. Meiosis is for gamete formation (involves halving chromosome number). Fertilization is the union of gametes. Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes.
