Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the purpose of cell division?
A
Prevent tumors from forming
B
Provide the daughter cells with half of the genetic material as the parent cell.
C
Provide the daughter cells with the correct amount of genetic material
D
Cause cells to differentiate into specialized cells.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set. Your body contains trillions of cells (thousands of millions).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by certain genes.
