Question

Which type of cell division is necessary for body development and repair, and which type is involved in gamete formation?

Answer 1

Cell Division:

1. When a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells, cell division has taken place.
2. Usually, cell division happens as part of a longer cell cycle.
3. All cells divide in two during reproduction, with each parental cell producing two daughter cells.
4. Cell division can occur in two different ways: mitosis and meiosis.
5. The form of cell division known as mitosis is responsible for the body's expansion and repair.
6. Gametes are created as a result of the cell division process known as meiosis.
