Question

Most animals begin their lives as a single, microscopic cell called a zygote. This begins a series of countless cell divisions, eventually resulting in a large, complex organism. Which type of cell division is used for this process?

Answer 1

Mitosis is the type of cell division the question is asking for

Answer 2

Answer:

Mitosis

Explanation:

In a mitotic cell division, two identical daughter cells (identical to each other and their parents) are produced. In a multi cellular organism , mitosis needs to assure increment in number of cell and growth of an organism through continuous cell division. Two haploid cell (one form each parent male and female) exchange their genetic material to produce diploid cells which marks the beginning of development phase of a multi-cellular organism.
