Question

What is the purpose of Mitosis? *

A. To produce an egg and a sperm cell.
B. To produce a new organism (like bacteria).
C. To produce a new cell (NOT a new organism).
D. To differentiate.

Answer 1

C. to produce a new cell

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis consists in replicating the genetic material of a mother cell in order to make two identical daughter cells; this is a diploid process. In order to make an egg or sperm cell and eventually a new organism, the correct process would be meiosis, since it combines the DNA between two cells and it is an haploid process.

Answer 2

C.

Explanation: Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division). During mitosis one cell? divides once to form two identical cells. The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells.
