Why Does Cell Division Occur
Mitosis Review
1. So why does cell division occur? Cell division occurs because an organisms such as plants, animals and such need to grow on a molecular level in order for them to continue thriving. For example, new cells are created with the intention of replacing old cells and tissues, with fresh and functioning ones... for most part. In humans and other organisms, organ cells, muscle cells, bone cells and such are constantly replace for growth and prolongation of proper function. Also, embryos continue to undergo cell division in order for the embryos to grow and eventually be a fully-fledged human. In plant cells, cells are constantly replicated without any replacemente, hence the fact that a plant constantly grows bigger rather than smaller each time.

When a haploid sperm cell and haploid egg cell come together and fuse at the fertilization phase, a diploid cell is created and the process of mitosis is about to occur. After every division of the mitosis phase, the identical genetic information is replicated and given to every daughter cells. Due to this replication, the genetic information in one of our body cells is genetically identical to the other body cells due to the fact that they are all just replications of each other.
5. Some advantages of asexual reproduction in plants is that no other partners are needed and that it is much quicker than sexual reproduction. For example, asexual reproduction does not involve the swapping of genetic materials and therefore requires no partners. Also, it is much quicker than sexual reproduction due to the fact that it doesn't need to undergo the process of gamete formation and therefore this "skip" in process allows it to reproduce much faster.
6. It is important for DNA to be replicated before cell division because the same amount of DNA and genetic materials/instructions needs to be given equally to each pairs of daughter cells, in order for a proper replication to
