Which of these is NOT a function for which mitosis is essential?
AFormation of new blood cells
BHealing of wounds in the body
CProduction of haploid gametes
DRestoration of an emaciated body
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Production of haploid gametes
1. Mitosis is essential for growth, wound healing, blood cell formation and restoration of an emaciated body.
2. Gametes are haploid and are produced by meiosis, not mitosis.
3. So production of haploid gametes is the function that does not belong to mitosis.
4. Wound healing, blood cell formation and restoration are all listed mitotic functions, so they are ruled out.
