Correct answer: A. Mitosis

  • A. Mitosis
  • B. Meiosis
  • C. Cell Growth
  • D. Mitosis & Meiosis

Explanation

Mitosis is important for three main reasons: development and growth, cell replacement, and asexual reproduction.Mitosis heals wounds by producing new, identical cells through cell division to replace damaged or lost cells, a process called epithelization in the skin. After an injury, the body triggers mitosis, causing cells in the epidermis (outer skin layer) to divide and multiply, migrating to cover the injured area. This increases the cell count, fills in the gaps left by destroyed cells, and reconstructs the damaged tissue, leading to complete or partial repair of the wound.
