Living cells divide to form new cells in order
to repair worn-out or damaged tissues throughout an organism, and (in the
gametes only) to enable the exchange of genetic material at the initial stage
of the process of sexual reproduction. (A gamete is a mature sex cell,
specifically the ovum of the female or the spermatozoon of the male.) The two types of cell division are generally
called mitosis and meiosis
