Organisms basically show two types of cell division mitosis and meiosis. Meiosis is a specialized type of division in which chromosome number is reduced to half. Meiosis occurs in germ cell and forms gametes. Mitosis results in an increase in the number of cells. The chromosome number remains the same. Mitosis increase number of cells. It is useful in growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction.
So, the correct answer is option D.
