(N/A) In multicellular organisms,cell division is primarily a mechanism for growth,development,and the repair of tissues.
It increases the number of cells within an individual organism,leading to an increase in body size and mass.
Reproduction,on the other hand,is a biological process by which an organism produces offspring to ensure the continuity of its species.
Since cell division in multicellular organisms does not result in the formation of a new,independent individual,it is considered a process of growth rather than a mode of reproduction.
