What mechanism(s) in mitosis allow the growth of cells, and the repair of worn out parts in regeneration of cells to occur?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Is there any link to a website about this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, i dont know

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Ok. Do you know anybody that's good at biology?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@Ashleyisakitty ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Alright, I'll find someone.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@Gabebro13 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How am I the last person you ask?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

I didn't see that you were online.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are their any options?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

No. I have to write it myself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not sure... My brain is tired today... I think it should be one of the growth phases. By the way, what class is this for?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Do you mean grade?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Well, I am in 9th grade and doing this course. The only problem with it is that this course teaches every lesson as if it's a summery, like a condensed version.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

I thought that mitosis is what makes cells to grow, and to repair worn out parts. I don't see how I can say what mechanisms allow it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In G2 phase of the cell cycle duplicated chromosomes are checked and repairs are made.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, mitosis is when cells divide. And they shouldn't condense everything. It makes it hard to understand. Biology is pretty complicated.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Yeah, that's what makes me get confused a lot.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ridoleor Is correct. I think. Sorry, my brain isn't working. Gonna have to restart it and make sure the antivirus is working.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

@Somy @Kainui @Abhisar @beccaboo333

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

It seems like some days no one answers. I've tagged everybody I know.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

xD i dont know anyone else good in this

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@Destinymasha ?

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

Umm..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_growth --maybe? c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry im not good in biology :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@quickstudent @ridoleor was correct. I think my brain is working today. And yeah, I am pretty sure it is right. Unless the question is talking about repairing other structures.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Ok, but can I have a little more explanation?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

@Mashy

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@Ashleyisakitty ?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@aayushi.somani ?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@paki ?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@shrutipande9 ?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

I have taken this class but the questions weren't this hard at all. You may want to ask @Abhisar He's great at this:) Sorry, I couldn't help you that much:(

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

He should know, but he is not online now.

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Yea. I agree:)

OpenStudy (paki):

@Abhisar...

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Abhisar is not online.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Is there anybody else who knows something about this?

OpenStudy (paki):

google it...

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

I tried already, but I couldn't find the answer.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@superhelp101 ?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@anonymous_user ?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@saifoo.khan ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

stem cell i think idk

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

I just want an explanation of what @ridoleor said if it is correct.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@Abhisar ?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@Gabebro13 , can you explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

G2 is the phase that comes after S phase. During S phase there was a gene replication. During the replication, errors could have occurred. So during G2 before division, the cell makes sure everything is correct and corrects what isn't

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Hello @quickstudent ! What part do you want to understand ? Do you want to know how mitosis helps in growth and repair ?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Yes

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@Abhisar ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Mitosis is division of cells by which cells multiply in number. How small baby turns into an adult ? The number of cells in an adult is much greater than that in a baby. How is this increment in cell number is achieved ? By cell division or mitosis.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Now suppose your skin is cut, you certainly want more skin cells to come in and repair the cut. So, the nearby skin cells undergo mitosis and voila! You have repaired the cut. So basically mitosis is a mechanism by which a cell multiplies in numbers and thus helps in growth and repair.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

So, wouldn't mitosis itself be the mechanism? Why is the question asking about mechanisms in mitosis if mitosis itself is the mechanism?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

The mechanism of cell division in the mitosis allows growth and repair.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Oh, ok. Now I understand. Thanks @Abhisar !
