Solution

Explanation :

Mitosis is the division of a cell resulting in two cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.

Amoeba is a single celled organism and mitosis results in an increase in the number of organisms, so it is a means of reproduction.

Mitosis is also a means of growth in multicellular organisms.
