Meiosis

Question 11 • First Semester Biology

Which of the steps in this sequence of events is an example of mitosis at work?

Answer
A
A baseball hits the arm of a baseball player.
B
The player reacts quickly grabbing his arm.
C
A bruise forms where the ball hit the arm.
D
The bruise slowly disappears as the arm heals.

Explanation

Mitosis is the process by which one cell divides to make new cells. As the arm heals and the bruise disappears, new cells replace or repair damaged tissue, so the healing step is where mitosis is at work. The impact, reaction, and initial bruise formation are not examples of cell division.
