Okay, in order to answer this question, let's talk about the process of mitosis.
00:03
Remember that mytosis starts with a diploid cell, and it produces two other cells that are identical to the parental cell.
00:12
So, practically, the function of mitosis is going to be useful when or where, well, practically when we need to produce cells that are similar to other cells.
00:28
For example, if this is your skin, okay, and these are your skin cells.
00:34
They are very similar to each other, okay? very similar to each other or practically equal.
00:40
So let's imagine you have an injury here in your skin, an injury.
00:45
And you need to regenerate these cells.
00:48
Remember that all of these cells were similar to each other.
00:50
So let's suppose this cell is going to repair this injury here and it is going to produce cells that are going to be, are going to fit here.
01:00
So as all the cells here have to be equal, then it is going to divide by the process of mitosis because it's going to produce daughter cells that are similar to this, to the parental cell, it means to this cell.
01:15
And in this way, the tissue is going to be repaired by producing daughter cells that are similar to this parental cell.
01:26
Also, if you want to grow this tissue, for example, if you want to grow this tissue, then you're going to use also mitosis in order to proliferate creating more cells that are similar to these cells, okay? and this is how cells grow by the process of mitosis.
01:43
So the question says, which is the following is not a function of mitosis in humans? option a says repair of wounds...
