Question
why do organisms do mitosis?
a. to make more body cells, like skin cells or liver cells for example.
b. to make gametes (sperm or eggs)
c. just for fun!
d. all of the above
Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. It is used for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. Gametes (sperm or eggs) are made through meiosis, not mitosis. And "just for fun" is not a valid biological reason.
