What is the purpose of cell divison?

Answer 1

Cell division is a process by which a cell, called the parent cell, divides into two or more cells, called daughter cells. Binary Fission (in simple organisms) is the reproductive division into two separate organisms. In complex organisms, mitosis results in two (or more) cells that can further divide, while meiosis results in a gamete (sex cell) that cannot further divide.

Answer 2

cell volume/surface increases, then a cell must divide or split into two, because if it doesn't then it would literally just be one huge blob. Cell division is necessary for all life, without it then you would barely exist. Cells need to divide because if you lose older cells, who is gonna replace it without cell division? Your body consists of millions or billions of cells, and without them you wouldn't be you! And DNA replication.

Answer 3

There are different purposes.

The basic two are reproduction; called meiosis, and growth (such as replace and/or repair) called mitosis

Answer 4

Cell division takes place in order to make new cells/ reproduce.
a. growth and repair b. production of energy c. reproduction d. both a.& c. The answer from the following above answers is a. growth and repair.

Answer 5

Cell reproduction: to make more cells. Cells are constantly dying, so new ones need to be made.

Answer 6

A: It allows growth and replaces worn out or damaged cells!

Answer 7

• to repair tissue
