Through what process do human cells reproduce?

  1. Meiosis

  2. Osmosis

  3. Mitosis

  4. Photosynthesis

The correct answer is: Mitosis

Human cells reproduce through the process of mitosis. This process involves the division of a single cell into two identical daughter cells. Mitosis is important for the growth and development of an organism, as well as for repairing damaged or old cells. Meiosis, while also a process of cell division, is specific to the production of sex cells in order to create genetic diversity. Osmosis is the process of water moving across a semipermeable membrane, and while it is a vital function in cells, it does not involve cell reproduction. Photosynthesis is a process in plants that converts sunlight into energy and is not directly related to human cells.
