Cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes.
A method of indirect cell division by means of which the two daughter nuclei normally receive identical complements of the number of chromosomes of the somatic cells of the species.
A process of cell duplication, or reproduction, during which one cell gives rise to two identical daughter cells.
Cell division in which the daughter cells contain precisely the same gametic material as the mother cell.
The process of cell division, where the mother cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
Type of cell division in which a cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells; it is the way in which new body cells are produced for growth. Division of the cell nucleus takes place in four stages, and the resulting daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
The division of cells in the body in which the 46 chromosomes in the nucleus duplicate and then split, creating two identical cells, each with 46 chromosomes.
The simplest type of cell division, mitosis is the process by which the body creates new cells. It is the normal division of cell nuclei, in which a cell divides to form two new, or daughter, cells, each of which contains the same complement of chromosomes as the parent cell. Unlike Meiosis, which is a type of cell division that takes place during germ cell formation and produces four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell, mitosis refers only to the division of cell nuclei. After mitosis is complete, the cytoplasm within the cell divides, in a process called cytokinesis.
A type of cell division in which a single cell produces two genetically identical daughter cells. It is the way in which new body cells are produced for both growth and repair. Division of the nucleus takes place in four stages and is followed by division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis) to form two new cells.
The process of cell division for somatic cells and for the ovum after fertilization. Each chromosome becomes doubled by splitting lengthwise and forming two chromatids which remain held together by the centromere. These chromatids are exact copies of the original chromosomes and contain duplicates of all the genes they bear. When cell division takes place, each double chromatid separates, one passing to one pole of the nucleus and the other to the opposite pole. The nucleus and the cell itself then also divide, forming two new daughter cells containing precisely the same 23 pairs of chromosomes and carrying exactly the same complement of genes as did the mother cell.
Type of cell division of somatic cells in which each daughter cell contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Mitosis is the process by which the body grows and dead somatic cells are replaced. Mitosis is a continuous process divided into four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Usual process of cell reproduction of human tissues that occurs when the cell divides into two identical cells called daughter cells.
A form of cell division wherein the chromosomes within a cell nucleus are replicated and distributed to each of the resulting two daughter cells.
Prior to cellular division, the chromosomes undergo replication and coil, with the paired copies linking together. These duplicated chromosomes align along the cell’s center and are subsequently separated to opposite ends of the cell, leading to its division. Consequently, each daughter cell retains identical chromosome content as the original cell. Notably, egg and sperm cells divide differently through a process referred to as meiosis.
The natural cell division process where a cell splits—encompassing both the cytoplasm and nucleus—into two offspring cells. Each of these offspring cells inherits the complete set of chromosomes from the original cell. This is also termed karyokinesis.
