Answer 5

The definition of meiosis is the production of gametes so C is meiosis and not a function of mitosis.  The answer to the question is C.

Mitosis is how the body produces cells to fill in and 'mend' together injuries thus, repair wounds.

Growth is the result of mitosis and damaged cells, from wounds or injury, are replaced via mitosis.  Actually, the whole purpose of mitosis is GROWTH AND MAINTENANCE.
