Purposes of Cell Division
Purposes of in HumansCellCell DivisionDivision fold cut
Purpose: Cell division for reproduction creates offspring with traits from both mother and father.
Called: MEIOSIS makes Why it’s important: If offspring are created, the species continues. If not, the species becomes extinct.
DAD offspring (reproduction) egg sperm ½ chromosomes from Mom ½ chromosomes from Dad MOM
Purpose: Cell division for growth and repair creates exact copies of a cell.
Why it’s important: Makes it possible for a living thing to grow; creates new cells to replace damaged or dead cells. Called: MITOSIS
Skin Cell exact copies (growth & repair) Skin Cell Chromosomes make copies Half go to each new cell
