Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context of the problem: The question is asking about the type of cell division involved in growth and repair of tissues.
Recall the definitions of the types of cell division: Mitosis, Meiosis, Binary Fission, and Budding.
Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell, used in sexual reproduction.
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes, and budding is a form of asexual reproduction seen in some organisms like yeast. Neither is involved in the growth and repair of tissues in multicellular organisms.
