Question

how do mitosis and the process of cell specialization build and maintain tissues? (select the two correct answers.) (1 point) mitosis creates a supply of new, identical cells. mitosis helps cells become more limited in function. specialization copies the dna for new daughter cells. mitosis results in many different types of cells. specialization turns on genes to give new cells a job. specialization is the main way an organism grows larger.

Explanation:

• Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same genetic material as the parent cell. So, mitosis creates a supply of new, identical cells.
• Cell specialization (differentiation) involves turning on specific genes in a cell's genome. This activation of genes gives the new cells a specific function or "job". For example, in a multicellular organism, some cells become muscle cells (with genes related to muscle contraction turned on), some become nerve cells (with genes for neurotransmitter production and signal conduction turned on) etc.

Answer:

• Mitosis creates a supply of new, identical cells.
• Specialization turns on genes to give new cells a job.
