The formation of new cells is necessary for the following reasons: * multicellular plants and animals start life as single cells, the zygotes or fertilized egg cells; the process of Mitosis gives rise to many cells which differentiate to form tissues, organs and organ-systems of the organism. * mitosis results in an increase in size and growth of an organism, * cell reproduction is used to form new cells to renew certain tissues and to replace worn out cells * mitosis is also used as a form of asexual reproduction in some organisms like in unicellular Amoeba and multicellular Hydra as well as vegetative reproduction in plants.
