The image shows a wound in the epidermal tissue of the human skin. The epidermal tissue next to the wound undergoes mitosis to help in the healing process. Which property of mitosis is the most useful in the healing process? Mitosis produces new cells that are identical to the parent cell. Mitosis allows a cell to divide into four cells each with double the size of the parent cell. Mitosis causes a cell to undergo uncontrolled division. Mitosis ensures that each newly produced cell has more genetic material than the parent cell.
