Cell division helps maintain homeostasis in living things since it creates new cells which can be used for growth and repair.
<em><u>Cell division occurs into two types, meiosis and mitosis . During mitosis, the cell creates two identical daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell, in terms of the number of chromosomes.</u></em>
These new cells are necessary to replace old cells that die in the organism, or to repair damage to the body.
