D). Meiosis occurs often because it allows growth and repair of body tissues in multicellular organisms.

Answer 1

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

All statements except "D). Meiosis occurs often because it allows growth and repair of body tissues in multicellular organisms" describe the advantages of meiosis.

In multicellular organisms, growth and repair of the tissues are achieved by mitosis.

Mitosis is the process in which parent cell divides into two daughter cells each with the same and an equal number of chromosomes as present in the parent cell.

It helps in producing new cells and replacing the old or damaged cells.

It generally takes place in all the cells of the body (somatic cells) except germ cells.
