Question

eukaryotic cells undergo mitosis, which produces two identical daughter cells. these cells are identical to each other and to the original parent cell. from the options below, select all of the reasons why a eukaryotic cell undergoes mitosis and the cell cycle. a asexual reproduction b growth of the organism c repair of damaged cells d spontaneous generation of cells e production of gametes for sexual reproduction

Explanation:

Mitosis is a process in which a eukaryotic cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. It is involved in the growth of the organism as more cells are produced for the organism to increase in size. It also plays a role in the repair of damaged cells, replacing the damaged cells with new, identical ones. However, mitosis is not involved in asexual reproduction (binary - fission is more common for asexual reproduction in single - celled organisms) or production of gametes (meiosis is responsible for that).

Answer:

B. growth of the organism, C. repair of damaged cells
