17. How does the combination of mitosis and differentiation contribute to the complexity of
organisms?
a) Mitosis and differentiation ensure that organisms remain simple.
b) Mitosis allows for growth and repair, while differentiation enables cells to specialize and
perform specific functions, resulting in the complexity of organisms.
c) Mitosis and differentiation have no role in the complexity of organisms.
d) Mitosis and differentiation both hinder the complexity of organisms.
