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.

Answer:
LD50 (median lethal dose)
Explanation:
- Whenever one needs to quantify the virulence of a pathogen then this is done by using a set of laboratory animals.
- LD50 (median lethal dose) is an important indicator of virulence.
- LD50 is defined as the number of pathogens that are required to kill 50% of the total infected animals.
- For the calculation of LD50, the animals are infected with a known number of pathogens and then a graph is plotted for the percentage of animals killed against the concentration of the pathogen used for infection.<em> The point at which the graph indicates the death of 50% animals, the corresponding concentration of inoculation of a pathogen is taken as the LD50 of that particular pathogen. </em>
Cigarette smoking and environmental chemicals
Tobacco smoke and certain environmental chemicals are known carcinogens (substances that can cause cancer in living tissue). The tobacco smoke from cigarette smoking contains harmful chemicals such as hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, ammonia, benzene, and many more. In fact, from 2009 to 2013, three out of 10 cancer deaths in the U.S have been attributed to cigarette smoking or exposure to tobacco smoke.
