OpenStudy (somy):

what do you think the reasons could be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um idk i need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just need one reason

OpenStudy (somy):

well look if you cut yourself by accident whats gonna happen? u'll damage some cells right?

OpenStudy (somy):

so these damaged cells have to be replaced by exact same type of cells (genetically identical)

OpenStudy (somy):

for your cut to heal

OpenStudy (somy):

thats one of the reasons we need mitosis the next reason is think of you as a child a baby tiny baby with small mass and then you grow to be size as you age

OpenStudy (somy):

this is also where you would need mitosis for growth for increase in size

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you give me one more reason please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind i got it :)

OpenStudy (somy):

well as you can see one of them is replacing damaged cells, and another one is growth

OpenStudy (somy):
