THE KEY ROLES OF CELL DIVISION The ability of organisms to reproduce best distinguishes living things from nonliving matter. The continuity of life is based on reproduction of cells‚ or cell division. In unicellular organisms like amoeba‚ division of one cell reproduces the entire organism. Multicellular organisms depend on cell division for: — Development from a fertilized cell — Growth — Repair Cell division is an integral part of the

Christopher Scott Biol 241 homework Professor: Greg Crowther 1. Compare and contrast the reasons cell division is important for unicellular and multicellular organisms. Cell division is the method in which single celled organisms reproduce. Cell division allows multi-cellular to grow and repair dead or damaged cells 2. Provide an example of why cell division remains important to an adult organism even after it isfully developed. Some cells divide to heal wounds such as cuts or broken bones.

leading to its division and duplication (replication). In cells without a nucleus (prokaryotic)‚ the cell cycle occurs via a process termed binary fission. In cells with a nucleus (eukaryotes)‚ the cell cycle can be divided in two brief periods: interphase—during which the cell grows‚ accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis and duplicating its DNA—and the mitosis (M) phase‚ during which the cell splits itself into two distinct cells‚ often called "daughter cells". The cell-division cycle is a vital

Interphase 2.Mitosis *Prophase *Metaphase *Anaphase *Telophase 3.Cytokinesis (This is a seperate process that begins at the same time as telophase) Different Stages in the Process of Meiosis There are two stages of meiosis‚ namely‚ meiosis I and meiosis II. The parent cell or the dividing cell undergoes a preparatory phase‚ known as interphase‚ before entering the two stages of meiosis. In the interphase‚ the parent cell synthesizes more DNA (deoxyribonucleic

Mitosis in a Nutshell • The stages of the cell cycle can be broken down into six stages: o Interphase‚ Prophase‚ Metaphase‚ Anaphase‚ Telophase Interphase • Is the "resting" or non-mitotic portion of the cell cycle. • It is comprised of G1‚ S‚ and G2 stages of the cell cycle. • DNA is replicated during the S phase of Interphase Prophase - the first stage of mitosis. • The chromosomes condense and become visible • The centrioles form and move toward opposite ends of the cell ("the poles")

events known as the cell cycle. The major feature in the cell cycle is cellular replication and what enables for cellular replication is the process of mitosis. Mitosis is the only part of the cell cycle‚ and the remainder of the cycle consists of interphase‚ cytokinesis‚ gap 1‚ synthesis‚ and gap 2 phases. But cell division and reproduction can occur in two ways mitosis (which I just mentioned)‚ and meiosis. Mitosis is used by single celled organisms to reproduce; it is also used for the organic growth
