Hey there!

What do you think it should be?

anonymous · Answer

@Abhisar hmm since cell division is growth and repair i was thinking A or B but not sure

abhisar · Answer

Cell division is a process by which a cell produces more like itself. Optio A is wrong because it says that skin cells will divide to form hair cells. That is not possible. Option C is wrong because cell division actually reduces the size of parent cell. As you urself said cell division is related with growth, what do u think about option D?
