      Cells reproduce by making a copy of everything they contain and then splitting themselves in half to produce two new cells.

      Both the two new cells are referred to as “daughter cells”, and the original cell (which split in two) is referred to as the “parent cell”.

      I think the daughter cells always do the same job as the parent cell.

      Daniels answer sounds pretty good to me 😀

      If my dad was answering i think he’d say ‘To give the father cells someone to drive around and ask for money from.’ 😉
