Cell Division

Cell Division: In biology, scientists study cell division to understand how living things grow and reproduce. Cells divide to create new cells, which help repair tissues, support growth, and pass on DNA to the next generation. Both plants and animals use cell division for survival, healing, and reproduction. 

In multicellular organisms, cell division happens through two main processes: mitosis, which creates identical body cells, and meiosis, which forms sex cells for reproduction. Without cell division, no living thing could grow, heal, or continue its life cycle.
