Question
which process is responsible for healing a cut?
mitosis
meiosis
both meiosis and mitosis
fertilization
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. It is responsible for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction. When there is a cut, mitosis occurs in the cells around the cut area. New cells are produced through mitosis to replace the damaged cells, thus helping in the healing process.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells). It is involved in sexual reproduction, not in the healing of a cut.
Fertilization is the process of combining gametes (sperm and egg) to form a zygote. It has no role in healing a cut.
