Cell Division and Mitosis

Question 3 • Anatomy & Physiology A

What can the process of mitosis do? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
create human babies
B
develop new prokaryotic cells
C
help you grow taller and larger
D
cause one amoeba to become two

Explanation

Mitosis makes genetically similar cells, allowing a multicellular organism to grow; that can help you grow taller and larger. In a single-celled eukaryote such as an amoeba, mitosis followed by cell division can produce two amoebas. Prokaryotes divide by binary fission, and creating a human baby involves reproduction rather than mitosis alone.
