Plss help me!! I'll give brainliest for best explanation!!

Nady [450]

So, we know G (green) is dominant, and g (yellow) is recessive

Father is Gg, his eyes are green because green (G) dominates over yellow (g)

Mother is GG, obviously she has green eyes too

All of the children will have green eyes, because G dominates everywhere

Yellow eyes would be present only if combination from parents was gg (because there is no G to dominate, but that’s not the case here )

Answer:

b)repair/replacement of damaged cells growth and development

Explanation:

Mitosis is a process of cell division that has many purposes. In individuals of sexual reproduction such as humans, mitosis is responsible for multiplying cells during the embryonic development; through this process the zygote (unicellular) is transformed into a multicellular organism. Additionally, mitosis allows the formation of new cells for tissue growth and to replace worn out cells.

The cell division that allows the gamete production for reproduction is a different process called meiosis.
