A gardener cut her finger while pruning shrubs. She noticed that after two weeks the wounds had nearly healed with just a small scar remaining. Which statement describes what will happen next?

A. Each one of the individual cells near the wound will grow in size to cover the injured part.
B. Cells will be transported from distant areas to the wound to cover the injured area.
C. The cells near the wound will produce identical cells by mitosis to repair the damaged tissues.
D. A material will be released by the injured cells that will cover the wound and repair the cells.

The wound will be healed by the production of new cells near the wound by the cell replication process and the therefore the identical cells are produced by the mitosis to repair the damaged tissues.

Note the below points about mitosis;

The mitosis is a process in which the cell replication occurs.
In mitosis, the single parent cell is divided into two identical daughter cells by the process of cell division, it takes by time.
The mitosis involves the healing of wound, growth of the organisms, replacement of the worn out cells.

Thus, mitosis is the process involved in the healing of wound in living beings.

Therefore, we can say that the answer of the question is C. The cells near the wound will produce identical cells by mitosis to repair the damaged tissues.
