Verified step by step guidance

Understand the context: Blood cells in the human body are produced in the bone marrow, a process known as hematopoiesis.

Identify the type of cell division: In humans, the production of blood cells involves the division of stem cells in the bone marrow.

Differentiate between types of cell division: Mitosis is the process by which a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, maintaining the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Consider other options: Budding and binary fission are methods of asexual reproduction seen in some organisms, but not in human blood cell production. Meiosis is involved in the production of gametes, not blood cells.

Conclude with the correct process: Mitosis is responsible for the production of blood cells, as it allows for the proliferation of stem cells in the bone marrow, leading to the formation of various types of blood cells.
