Cell Division in Growth and Repair

Description

Cell division is the process that lets one parent cell split into two or more daughter cells. In single-celled organisms, it serves as a way to reproduce. In multicellular organisms, it helps with growth, development, and tissue repair.

Cell division also makes reproductive cells, including sperm...

Transcript

Cell division is a process by which one cell produces two or more daughter cells. Unicellular organisms, like yeast, reproduce by cell division, whereas multicellular organisms, like us, use the same process to develop, grow, and maintain our tissues. Knowledge of what controls normal cell division is critical to understanding...
