This is because the cells we need for reproduction need to be genetically different from those of the rest of the body.

Cellular reproduction

When a mother cell divides into two or more daughter cells, this process is known as cell division.  Cell division frequently takes place as a component of a longer cell cycle. There are two different types of cell division in eukaryotes: a vegetative division (mitosis), in which each daughter cell inherits the genetic makeup of the parent cell, and a reproductive division (gametogenesis), in which the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is cut in half to produce haploid gametes (meiosis).  In cell biology, the process of mitosis, during which replicated chromosomes are split into two new nuclei, is a stage of the cell cycle. The number of chromosomes is maintained in the genetically identical cells produced by cell division.

Science has shown how information can only be gathered by the known laws of physics and chemisty.

I would say the answer is false because they also used information of science to help make things like medicine and fungi and fossils, one of the main things science was used for was chemistry and physics to determine what things could kill humans in the world back in the day.


Hope this helps, Have a good day:), ~Nana!~
