BI110 Chapter Notes - Chapter Module 32: Cyanobacteria, Cleavage Furrow, Cell Division
Document Summary
A: reproduction of the cell in which one cell becomes two identical cells. A: growth and the replacement of worn-out or damaged cells. Cells may divide to repair injury, as when skin cells grow over a wound or a broken bone knits. A: since all cells come from preexisting cells division is needed to 1. Growing new tissue (new leaves during plant development) 3. Replacement of lost cells (lining of gut) and or damaged cells (wound repair) A: dividing unspecialized cells in animal embryos that grow to produce specialized cells throughout the body. A: prokaryotes reproduce through binary fission, whereas eukaryotic cells divide through either mitosis or meiosis. A: cell division in prokaryotes where two daughter cells are produced from the parent cell; asexual reproduction in unicellular prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Copies its genome, increases in size and then splits into two daughter cells. A: replication of chromosome consumes most of the time in the cell cycle 1.
