Answer 2

The correct answer is 2.) 1 , 2

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which single parent cell divides into two daughter cells with equal number of chromosomes as in the parent cell.

It occurs in somatic cells of the body for growth and repair of the tissue.

It maintains the chromosomal number between parent and daughter cells and it is the reason that it is also called as equational division.
