Besides reproduction, why do cells divide in other animals?

Biology

Answer:

B) Growth

Explanation:

Choice A): This is wrong because the centromere is simply a part of a chromosome, i.e. the part of a chromosome consisting of two sister chromatids where the sister chromatids are the most tightly bound together.

Choice B): This is right because this is indeed one of the major reasons mitosis, or cell division takes place. For example, as a human grows, his or her cells must constantly divide for the human to grow; the cells themselves <em>do not</em> grow larger.

Choice C): This is wrong because this is simply a description for the number of chromosomes within a particular cell. This type of cell is a somatic, or body, cell, just any regular cell you would find in an organism.

Choice D): Well, you said besides reproduction, so I didn't choose this. Just in case, cells divide for reproduction purposes because of meiosis, where the gametes (sex cells) are produced.

Good day, and stay safe! :)

Veins returning to the heart can close to prevent the backflow of blood. Which component in the veins contributes to this proces
givi [52]
Compared to arteries, valves have no pulse, have thin walls and have valves that prevent backflow of the blood. The pressure in the veins is less than that of the arteries, hence, there is no pulse. They are nearer to the surface of the skin. It also connects arteries and capillaries which transport blood all throughout the circulatory system.
