the model shows a parent cell completing mitosis.
parent cell
daughter cell
if a multicellular organism has a wound, like a cat having a cut in its skin, how will mitosis help the organism?
the wound will be repaired by cells that are identical to the ones lost in the injury and to the rest of the cells around the wound.
the wound will be repaired by cells that are identical to the ones lost in the injury but not in the rest of the cells around the wound.
the wound will be repaired by cells that are different from the ones lost in the injury but not in the rest of the cells around the wound.
the wound will be repaired by cells that are different from the ones lost in the injury and the rest of the cells around the wound.

Explanation:

Mitosis produces daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. When a multicellular organism has a wound, mitosis occurs to produce new cells that are identical to the ones lost in the injury and to the rest of the cells around the wound for proper tissue - repair and maintenance of the organism's structure and function.

Answer:

The wound will be repaired by cells that are identical to the ones lost in the injury and to the rest of the cells around the wound.
