Hey!
Wouldn’t mitosis help a pluricellular organism grow?
But I agree for a unicellular organism, mitosis would grow the population but not the organism

Hi!
thanks dorsa but isn’t the increase in no. of cells synonymous to growth in case of unicellular organisms.

Mo problem!
No they are not the same.
Whenever the word growth is mentioned alone it means the growth in size.
We should see the “growth in number of cells” words to consider this option as a correct sentence.

Hey it doesnt!
It’s only for eukaryotes… bacteria use binary fission and budding.
