Cell division is the only way single-celled organisms can reproduce.Multicellular organisms need cell division to grow and to replace dead or damaged cells. In humans, many types of cells divide. For example, repeated divisions allow a single fertilized egg cell to develop into an adult with more than 37 trillion cells.After growth, division remains important in normal cell turnover, such as in our skin and gut, where cells are continuously renewed. Other cells have to divide to heal wounds like skin cuts or broken bones.

Why are checkpoints important to the normal cell cycle process?
