what is cell divison?

Answer 1

(m)

Cell division is the process by which a cell, called the parent cell, divides into two cells, called daughter cells. Cell division is usually a small segment of a larger cell cycle. In meiosis however, a cell is permanently transformed and cannot divide again.

Cell division is the biological basis of life. This is very important! For simple unicellular organisms such as the Amoeba, one cell division reproduces an entire organism. On a larger scale, cell division can create progeny from multicellular organisms, such as plants that grow from cuttings. But most importantly, cell division enables sexually reproducing organisms to develop from the one-celled zygote, which itself was produced by cell division from gametes. And after growth, cell division allows for continual renewal and repair of the organism.

The primary concern of cell division is the maintenance of the original cell's genome. Before division can occur, the genomic information which is stored in chromosomes must be replicated, and the duplicated genome separated cleanly between cells. A great deal of cellular infrastructure is involved in keeping genomic information consistent between "generations".

Answer 2

Cell division is the process that cells go through in order to divide. Cells may divide for several reasons, and there are two types of cell division depending on the purpose. The cell division associated with sexual reproduction is one type, called meiosis. The other type, the cell division associated with growth and cell replacement or repair, is called mitosis. In both types of cell division, the nucleus splits and DNA is replicated.

The cell division called mitosis produces daughter cells that have all the genetic material of the parent cell — a complete set of chromosomes. However, chromosomes are not the only material that needs to be divided and transferred to the daughter cells: there are cytoplasm and the cell membrane to divide as well. Cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cytoplasm and the cell membrane, and this process may follow immediately after mitosis or occur separately, depending on the organism involved. Together, these two processes make up the mitotic phases of the cell cycle.

Answer 5

The process that allows each of our cells to spawn a new cell. somatic cells usually undergo meiosis (I and II) so as to stem gametic cells (used for reproduction) that after bonding together will result in a fertilized zygote that will be settled in the female womb. Note that during this process the number of chromosomes is divided by half (2n cells become n.Then the now n cells meet each another for zygote formation, which'll be 2n)
Non-somatic cells usually go through a slightly different dividing process called MITOSIS, whose purpose is to originate identical daughter cells (2n cells remain n).
Before cell division can really take place there's Interphase, a process that aims to set the cell to be ready for the dividing process. (this mostly involves ATP synthesis and the following stages ensue during: Gap 1, S, Gap2) the energy acquired in the G2 phase is used for Mitosis. Mitosis is made up of 5 main sub-stages: prophase(chromosomes alignment and cell core dissolution) , metaphase ( chromosomes make their way to both sides of the cell) Anaphase ( chromosomes split) , Telophase ( they are already finished with their splitting process) and Citokinesis rounds off the division process.

Answer 7

Cell division is the process by which a cell, called the parent cell, divides into two cells, called daughter cells

Answer 8

Formation of two or more daughter cells from a single mother cell. The nucleus divides first, followed by the formation of a cell membrane between the daughter nuclei. Division of cytoplasm and nucleus into two or more parts by formation of a cell plate.

Mitosis

yeah.

Answer 9

mitosis is the process of cell division in eukaryotic cells, meiosis is the process of cell division to produce gametes. meiosis DOESNT produce 4 copies, once fertilisation takes place, mitosis takes over and the zygote produces 1 copy=2=4 and so on.

Answer 10

in order to understand

our body has millions and trillion of cells and it keeps on dividing after reaching a certain size if u have read reproduction of asexual animal then u know how is binary fission done thats the some process in case of cell division too.
