Question

multicellular organisms need to produce new somatic cells all of the time. 10 points which of the following is not a reason for mitosis? repair redirection replacement growth new gametes/germ cells are produced through 10 points mitosis cancer meiosis g - phase

Explanation:

• For the first question: Mitosis is a process of cell division that is involved in growth (increasing the number of cells for an organism to get larger), repair (replacing damaged cells), and replacement (renewing old or worn - out cells). Redirection is not a function associated with mitosis.
• For the second question: Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells). Mitosis is for somatic (body) cell division and growth/repair. Cancer is an abnormal, uncontrolled cell growth. The G - phase is part of the cell cycle (interphase) but not the process that produces gametes.

Answer:

1. B. redirection
2. C. meiosis
