Add/remove HTML inside div using JavaScript

I want to be able to add multiple rows to a div and also removing them. I have a '+' button at the top of the page which is for adding content. Then to the right of every row there is a '-' button that's for removing that very row. I just can't figure out the javascript code in this example.

This is my basic HTML structure:

<input type="button" value="+" onclick="addRow()">

<div id="content">

</div>

This is what I want to add inside the content div:

<input type="text" name="name" value="" />
<input type="text" name="value" value="" />
<label><input type="checkbox" name="check" value="1" />Checked?</label>
<input type="button" value="-" onclick="removeRow()">

You can do something like this.

function addRow() {
  const div = document.createElement('div');

  div.className = 'row';

  div.innerHTML = `
    <input type="text" name="name" value="" />
    <input type="text" name="value" value="" />
    <label> 
      <input type="checkbox" name="check" value="1" /> Checked? 
    </label>
    <input type="button" value="-" onclick="removeRow(this)" />
  `;

  document.getElementById('content').appendChild(div);
}

function removeRow(input) {
  document.getElementById('content').removeChild(input.parentNode);
}
