Answer
c. production of gametes from diploid cells
Work Step by Step
Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells from one parent cell; this increases cell numbers. By increasing the number of cells, wounds can be healed through the replacement of damaged cells and dead cells by new cells. Meiosis is the process by which diploid cells produce cells that have half the number of chromosomes; these cells with half the number of chromosomes of diploid cells are called gametes.
