binary fission
multiple fission
mitosis
meiosis

Answer 1

C. Mitosis

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is the process of dividing a cell and its nucleus into two cells which each have their own nucleus. An example of mitosis is the way the skin cells covering a child's body all multiply while they are growing.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer to the fill in the blank is Mitosis.

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of two daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes as compared to their parent cell. Thus, by producing more number of identical cells, mitosis helps in the growth and repair of tissues.

Thus, after removal of cyst from the liver of Bob, the cells would grow and repair the area through mitosis.
