Verified
A cell multiplies by cell division, which can be of two types: Mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, one parent cell divides to form two identical daughter cells, which helps in growth, repair and replacement of worn-out cells. In meiosis, special reproductive cells are formed with half the number of chromosomes, which helps in sexual reproduction.
