Answer:

Select all that apply. The purposes of mitosis are: growth of organisms, cell renewal, repair of injuries and asexual reproduction

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a nuclear division process it allows:

-Growth of organisms:

Multicellular organisms grow because the number of cells increases by mitosis. Cell enlargement and specialization are relations with growth organism too.

-Cell renewal and repair of injuries genetic:

Mitosis generates new body cells (somatocytes) for renewal and repair, the production of identical copies of cells and thus helps in repairing damaged tissue or replacing the worn-out cells. Repair of tissue depends on cellular regeneration. Some cells divide quite readily while others do not.

- Asexual reproduction: Mitosis results in the production of two identical cells from a single cell
