Cellular reproduction is a process by which cells duplicate their contents and then divide sealed multiple cells with similar, if not duplicate contents. Cell division is fundamental to all living organisms and is required for growth and development. Cell division allows organisms to transfer their genetic material to their offspring.
There are two major types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis.these processes are very similar but result in different types of cells.
During mitosis cells produce an exact replica of themselves. During meiosis, sperm or egg cells are produced instead of identical daughter cells as in mitosis.
There are four stages of cellular reproduction: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
These phases allows cells to divide and transfer their genetic material.
