The growth and repair of damaged tissue involve option 1, which is mitotic cell division only.

Mitotic cell division, also known as mitosis, is the process by which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This type of cell division is responsible for the growth of tissues during development and the replacement of damaged or old cells.

During mitosis, the cell goes through a series of stages, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, to ensure the accurate distribution of genetic material to the daughter cells. The cell`s DNA is replicated and condensed into chromosomes, which are then pulled apart into two separate nuclei.

On the other hand, meiotic cell division, or meiosis, is a special type of cell division that only occurs in certain cells involved in the production of gametes (sperm and eggs). Meiosis involves two rounds of division, resulting in the production of four non-identical daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This process is essential for sexual reproduction but is not directly involved in tissue growth and repair.

Option 3, meiotic cell division only, is incorrect because meiosis is not involved in the growth and repair of damaged tissue.

Option 2, both mit
