Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division is necessary to create genetic diversity. In unicellular organisms, cell division is a significant process through which a unicellular organism develops into a new organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -During meiosis, the cells needed for sexual reproduction divide to produce new cells called gametes. Gametes contain half as many chromosomes as the other cells in the organism, and each gamete is genetically unique because the DNA of the parent cell is shuffled before the cell divides.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is important for cells to divide so you can grow and so your cuts heal. It is also important for cells to stop dividing at the right time. If a cell can not stop dividing when it is supposed to stop, this can lead to a disease called cancer. Some cells, like skin cells, are constantly dividing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes.
