CELL DIVISION

THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why is it important for cells in our body to undergo cell division?
A
Cell division allows cells to reproduce and heal injuries.
B
Cells need to undergo the cell cycle so that they can reproduce and allow us to grow.
C
Cell division enables cells in our bodies to stay smaller and transport materials more quickly.
D
All of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cells need to divide for your body to grow and for body tissue such as skin to continuously renew itself. When a cell divides, the outer membrane increasingly pinches inward until the new cells that are forming separate from each other. This process typically produces two new (daughter) cells from one (parent) cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cell division is a process by which a cell divides to give rise to daughter cells. It is essential for the growth and development of multicellular organisms, while it leads to the reproduction in unicellular organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -In unicellular organisms, cell division is the means of reproduction; in multicellular organisms, it is the means of tissue growth and maintenance.
