1 Cell Division

Cards (4)

  • CELL DIVISION
    ● The production of a “daughter cell” from a “parent cell”
    ● The basis for reproduction of individual
    organisms
    ● Allows the production of new individuals
    ● Replicating DNA
    ● Enables cell repair
    ● Enables organismal growth
  • BINARY FISSION
    ● A type of asexual reproduction
    ● Can be observed in majority of bacterial and archaeal species
    ● Responsible for the production of bacterial
    generations
    ● Exhibits intercalary growth
  • BUDDING
    ● A type of asexual reproduction
    ● Can be observed in some bacterial and fungal
    species
    ● Creates an actual daughter cell
    ● Exhibits polar growth
  • EUKARYOTIC CELL DIVISION
    ● Involves multiple stages
    ● Can be classified into 2 types: mitosis and
    meiosis
    ● Responsible for tissue replacement and repair
    ● Main reason for the growth of an organism
