In all bodies, there two kinds of cells: sexual cells (espermatozoa and ovums) that combine through a process called meiosis to create a new cell with genetic properties from both of them. The meiosis give us life because of the unlimited variety of genetic binds and it only happens during the sex.

And the other kind is the other cells called somatical cells that copy themselves through a process called mitosis. The cell divides in 2 "cells-children" with the same DNA than their "mother". The mitosis happens during all our life when a cell is dying and divides itself to keep the number.
