Answer:

The correct answer will be option-

1. Additional numbers of cells is not needed in most animals after maturity

2. Plants usually continue to grow throughout their existence

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division which produces the clones of the parent cell. This type of cell division is involved in the division of the somatic cells which help the organism in repair and growth of the organism.

In the given question, since the animals, after maturity do not require additional cells like humans whereas the plant's cells continuously divide to grow which involves the mitosis.

Thus, the selected options are the correct answer.
