  5. egg sperm sperm egg MOM DAD ½ chromosomes from Mom ½ chromosomes from Dad offspring (reproduction)

  6. Purpose: Cell division for growth and repair creates exact copies of a cell.

  7. Why it’s important: Makes it possible for a living thing to grow; creates new cells to replace damaged or dead cells. Called:MITOSIS

  8. Skin Cell Chromosomes make copies Half go to each new cell Skin Cell Skin Cell (growth & repair) exact copies
