Detailed explanation-1: -Overview. Cells must divide repeatedly for an embryo to develop or for you to grow. Cells also divide in order to replace damaged or worn-out cells. Most cell division produces genetically identical cells, meaning they have the same DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -When cells become damaged or die the body makes new cells to replace them. This process is called cell division. One cell doubles by dividing into two. Two cells become four and so on.
