All multicellular organisms use cell division or growth and the maintenance, and also the repair of cells and tissues. Meiosis creates more genetic variation.

Answer:

1st question:

Cell division is fundamental to all living organisms and required for growth and development. As an essential means of reproduction for all living things, cell division allows organisms to transfer their genetic material to their offspring.

2nd question:

Meiosis creates more genetic variation. This is because it produces 4 daughter cells, none of which are genetically identical, while mitosis produces 2 identical daughter cells (which are identical to the parent cell).
