Options

A. Mitosis

B. Meiosis

C. Apoptosis

D. Phagocytosis

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division which takes place in living organism during growth and development.Therefore it is ensures the regenerations of cells and tissues during healing.

Therefore the restoration of new cells to the skin following injuries is due to mitosis.Since this is a multiplication division(2n) in which the daughter cells are exactly like the parents' cells the new tissues of the skin by mitosis, look exactly like the previous one that was injured.

In cases where the mitotic growth control is lost, the scare tissues of the injured part overgrows with granulation tissues and this leads to Kaloids.

Its is a mass of Collagen Type 1.(Collagen is an fibrous proteins which has largest proportion in mammals).

Keloids is characterized with pink or red coloration and elevation of the area,excessive growth of the area, with irritating patch skin
