Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is the way organisms grow, repair damage, and reproduce. In organisms made up of eukaryotic cells, mitosis is the type of division used to create identical copies of a cell. A special form of cell division also occurs in most multicellular organisms called meiosis.

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: -Cell division is just one of the stages that all cells go through during their life. This includes cells that are harmful, such as cancer cells. Cancer cells divide more often than normal cells and grow out of control.

Detailed explanation-4: -Significance of Cell Division Production of new cells from older ones. Maintains the total number of chromosomes. Provides more cells for growth and development. Repairs and controls the damage caused to the cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two distinct types of cell division out of which the first one is vegetative division, wherein each daughter cell duplicates the parent cell called mitosis. The second one is meiosis, which divides into four haploid daughter cells. Mitosis: The process cells use to make exact replicas of themselves.
