Cell division basics: By which processes can a eukaryotic cell divide to produce new cells? Context: Distinguish the two canonical division modes used for growth/repair vs. gamete formation. Choose the correct option that names the valid processes.

Given data

• Question asks which processes can carry out cell division in eukaryotes.

Concept / Approach
Mitosis creates genetically identical daughter cells for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in somatic tissues.Meiosis is a reduction division creating haploid gametes (or spores), introducing genetic variation via independent assortment and crossing over.

Elimination
Options naming only one process are incomplete; both processes operate in multicellular eukaryotes.

Final Answer
Mitosis and meiosis are the two processes by which cell division occurs.
