The functions of cell division by mitosis are
1. to keep the total cell number in a mature organism relatively constant,
2. to replace worn-out or damaged cells, and
3. to enable a multicellular organism to grow to adult size.

∙ 14y agoCell Division's purpose is to divide the nucleus and genetic material of a cell and put it in "daughter" cells.
The main two types of Cell Division are Mitosis and Meiosis.
Meiosis puts half of a copy of the "father" cell's genetic information in each of four "daughter" cells.

What is the purpose off cell division in mitosis and meiosis?
In meiosis, cell division produces four genetically distinct daughter cells. Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells.
What is the purpose of mitosis in single-celled organisms?
The purpose of mitosis is to have a cell division which allows the cell to reproduce. During mitosis the cell is divided into separate organisms.Single celled organisms are no longer single celled if they undergo mitosis. If it is a single celled organism that is supposed to become a multicellular organism, it will undergo mitosis to grow.
Mitosis is a process of what?
the identcal replication of one cell to greate a genetially identical daughter cell x
What process of cell division produces an exact replica of the cell?
Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells. You can remember that the form of cell division that produces two identical cells has a plus sign in it...the "t." Then you can remember that you get one cell plus another just like it.
What is asexual cell division found in multicellular organisms?
Binary Fission Binary Fission
The cytoplasmic division is referred to as?
Cytoplasmic division is also called cytokinesis. This is the stage of mitosis in which the cell splits into two daughter cells.
What is the purpose off cell division in mitosis and meiosis?
In meiosis, cell division produces four genetically distinct daughter cells. Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells.
How does mitosis relate to cell division short answer?
Mitosis relates to cell division because mitosis is the process in cell division where the nucleus divides into 2 nuclei.
What is the purpose of mitosis in single-celled organisms?
The purpose of mitosis is to have a cell division which allows the cell to reproduce. During mitosis the cell is divided into separate organisms.Single celled organisms are no longer single celled if they undergo mitosis. If it is a single celled organism that is supposed to become a multicellular organism, it will undergo mitosis to grow.
What is the type of cell division responsible for growth and repair?
Mitosis is the type of cell division essential for repair of tissues.
What purpose does mitosis serve in development and growth?
Mitosis is the process of cell division that occurs in living things except in the gonads (sex cells). In mitosis the "daughter" cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. During mitosis, a cell splits in two passing on the genetic material.
Mitosis is a process of what?
the identcal replication of one cell to greate a genetially identical daughter cell x
What is the division of a body cell?
Mitosis is the term for division of a body cell.
Does cell replacement occur in mitosis or meiosis?
Its meiosis. Mitosis is cell division.
Why should the term cell division and mitosis should not be used interchangeably?
Mitosis is the process of cell division and is completed by the cell completely dividing.
Cell division that is further divided into more stages is called?
Mitosis is the process of cell division. There are 6 stages:InterphaseProphasePrometaphaseMetaphaseAnaphaseTelophase
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.
