Answer 1

I wanna say it’s D it is only process involves replication of genetic material.

Answer 2

Mitosis is responsible for growth, repair and maintenance of an organism because it produces all the daughter cells that are genetically identical to one other and therefore creates new available cells that are specific to each tissue for growth and repair.
