What is Cell division and its types?
Cell Division - Cell division is a process in which the single cell divide or multiply into two or more identical cells. It play important role in growth, reproduction and repair. There are three types of cell division- 1) Amitosis 2) Mitosis 3) Meiosis 1) Amitosis - is the process in which the cell is directly divide into two daughter cell without any formation of spindle and appearance of chromosomes. The nucleus present inside the cell elongates and develops a constriction round its middle. This constriction gradually deepens and finally cuts the nucleus into two daughter cells. Example - Paramecium divide by amitosis. 2) Mitosis- is the process in which two identical daughter cell produced by a single parent cell by karyo-kinesis, cytokinesis and cell separation. The daughter cells carry same amount of DNA, same amount and kind of Chromosomes and same hereditary instruction from parent cell so that this division also known as equational division. It occur in all ...
