Detailed explanation-1: -As we all are aware, reproduction is an essential process for the continuity of life. 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: -Cell division serves as a means of reproduction in unicellular organisms through binary fission. In multicellular organisms, cell division aids in the formation of gametes, which are cells that combine with others to form sexually produced offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Put simply, the goal of cellular reproduction is to “reproduce” a copy of a preexisting cell. Cells achieve this by first copying their contents and then dividing such that each of the resulting two cells has the same components.
