Question Detail
Question
Mitosis provides mechanism for quick reproduction in single celled organisms and for growth and reproduction in multicellular organisms.
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
This statement is true. Mitosis serves different purposes depending on the organism. In unicellular organisms (like amoeba), mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction, creating two identical daughter cells. In multicellular organisms, mitosis is responsible for growth (increasing cell number), repair (replacing damaged cells), and in some cases, asexual reproduction (e.g., budding in hydra).
Hint
Does this process create new cells for both single-celled and multicellular life, but for different reasons?
