  • Cell Division: How Growth & Repair Happen in the Human Body
    The process that provides new cells for growth and repair in the human body is called cell division.

    There are two main types of cell division:

    * Mitosis: This is the type of cell division that creates two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. It is responsible for growth, development, and repair of tissues.

    * Meiosis: This is the type of cell division that creates gametes (sperm and egg cells) which have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It is essential for sexual reproduction.

    So, it's the process of mitosis that provides new cells for growth and repair in the human body.
