Detailed explanation-1: -For you to stay alive and fully functional, these cells need to be continuously replaced. Mitosis is crucial to this process. Mitosis is the reason we can grow, heal wounds, and replace damaged cells. Mitosis is also important in organisms which reproduce asexually: this is the only way that these cells can reproduce.

Detailed explanation-2: -Replacement and regeneration of new cells-Regeneration and replacement of worn-out and damaged tissues is a very important function of mitosis in living organisms. Mitosis helps in the production of identical copies of cells and thus helps in repairing the damaged tissue or replacing the worn-out cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells. If not corrected in time, mistakes made during mitosis can result in changes in the DNA? that can potentially lead to genetic disorders?.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why do cells divide? Cell divide so that organisms can grow. In order for organisms to grow, body cells either have to increase their size or divide. Most cells divide, because smaller is better when it comes to cells.
