Answer:
d. creates identical cells for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction
Step-by-step explanation:
Mitosis is used by somatic, or body, cells; this is how they reproduce. Since the new cells are intended for the same job, they are made identical to the parent. Additionally, mitosis only includes one parent cell so it is asexual. Sexual reproduction occurs through meiosis. Mitosis begins with one parent cell and ends with two identical daughter cells.
