Questions and Answers
What is the significance of cell division?
What is the significance of cell division?
- It stops the growth of cells
- It prevents reproduction
- It reduces the number of cells in an organism
- It allows a single cell to form a structure consisting of millions of cells (correct)
What happens during the division of a cell?
What happens during the division of a cell?
- The cell stops metabolic activities
- The cell loses genetic material
- Cell size remains constant
- DNA replication and cell growth also take place (correct)
How do all cells reproduce?
How do all cells reproduce?
- By remaining in a dormant state
- By fusing with other cells to form new cells
- By dividing into two, with each parental cell giving rise to two daughter cells (correct)
- By shrinking in size

Study Notes
Characteristics of Cells
- Growth and reproduction are characteristics of cells, and all living organisms.
- Cells reproduce by dividing into two, with each parental cell giving rise to two daughter cells.
Cell Division
- Cell division is a very important process in all living organisms.
- During cell division, DNA replication and cell growth also take place.
Cell Growth and Development
- A single cell can form a structure consisting of millions of cells through cycles of growth and division.
- The newly formed daughter cells can grow and divide, giving rise to a new cell population formed by the growth and division of a single parental cell and its progeny.
