Question

What is the primary reason the process illustrated below takes place in multicellular organisms?A.To allow for growth and maintenance of complex organismsB.To form the sex cells that organisms need for sexual reproductionC.To ensure variation among populations of organismsD.To produce cells necessary for signaling and communication

Answer 1

Explanation:

Notice that the process illustrated in the given problem is a mitotic division. During mitosis, a cell duplicates its genetic material and divides to form two identical daughter cells. This process is done in the somatic cells of the complex organisms for the maintenance and growth of the cellular tissues of these organisms.

We can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer:A. To allow for the growth and maintenance of complex organisms.
