Detailed explanation-1: -The most basic function of the cell cycle is to duplicate accurately the vast amount of DNA in the chromosomes and then segregate the copies precisely into two genetically identical daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Significance of Cell Division Renewing of damaged cells. Production of new cells from older ones. Maintains the total number of chromosomes. Provides more cells for growth and development.
Detailed explanation-3: -So if a cell grows larger instead of dividing, diffusion will be too slow and the cell will not be able to obtain nutrients and get rid of wastes efficiently, which ultimately would kill the cell. Thus, cells divide so that an organism can get bigger, despite the fact that cell size is limited.
