Question

Why are they called daughter cells and not son cells?

Answer 1

Answer:

So naturally organisms/cells capable of producing offspring are also given a feminine trait. The parent cell is often called the mother cell, and the daughter cells are so named because they eventually become mother cell themselves.

Answer 2

In any living population, only the females have reproductive capacity and not the males.

The asexual reproduction products later grow and give new products.

Hence, conventionally asexual reproduction products are called daughter cells and not son cells.

The daughter cells grow up to form Mother cells.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any doubt. Thanks.
