1. Division is replication (reproduction). Populations that replicate survive over time. Replication, with infidelity, introduces genetic variation to the gene pool. Populations then have members with differential reproductive success. So populations evolve as their gene pool changes with the spread of successful combinations of phenotypic alleles.
2. Growth in multicellular organisms is due to stem cell asymmetric division and symmetric duplication of differentiated cell types.
3. Repair damage or replace cell loss in multicellular organisms. Apoptotic (planned cell death) permits remodeling and replacement of old cells. Important in uterine remodeling for placental mammals.

∙ 13y agoThree reasons cells divide are:
- To allow an organism to grow.
- To repair/ replace broken or dead cells.
- In the case of unicellular organisms (i.e. bacteria) to create two brand new, independent organisms.

What are the three process that involves the entrance and exit of materials in the cell?
excretion, cell division, growth
Cell division has the purpose of?
What is the didfference between a plant root cell and a leaf cell?
three reasons why a root hair cell different is different from a leaf
What does cell division prevent the cell from becoming?
Cell division prevents the cell from becoming too large.
What is the s phase in interphase?
Interphase has three phases: G1--The cell is functioning normally but preparing for cell division so it makes more proteins, organelles and increases the volume of cytoplasm. S-"Synthesis"--The cell duplicates its DNA. G2--The cell continues growing to prepare for cell division.
3 functions of cell division?
The three functions of cell division are reproduction, growth, and repair
What are the three characteristics that show a cell is alive?
i am a scincetist, the three reasons are the cell eats,poops and it mates!

Cell division has the purpose of?
What are the three main parts of cell division?
- interphase - mitosis - cytokinesis
What is one of the cornerstones of modern biology and what are three components?
Cell division
The main purpose of cell division is?
Cell division has three purposes for the organism. The are responsible for the reproduction, growth and maintenance of both single celled and multicellular organisms.
What kind of cell division when the cell is not dividing?
:Mitosis is the cell division which did not divided the cell.: Reduction Division is the cell division which divided the cell into half.
What are the three factors that contribute to the makeup of an individual?
Genes, Chromosome, Cell Division
Give the three problems solved by mitotic cell division?
duplication, separation, and cytokinesis
Which stages make up interphase of the cell cycle?
Interphase{G1 (cell growth), S (DNA is copied), G2 (growth and preparation for cell division)}, Cell Division {mitosis and cytokinesis} False
