Cell division

1. Cell Division By Saloni Lonare

2. Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. It is essential for growth, repair, and reproduction.

3. 1. Mitosis – For growth and repair. 2. Meiosis – For sexual reproduction. 3. Binary Fission – In unicellular organisms.

4. 1. Prophase – Chromosomes condense, spindle fibers form. 2. Metaphase – Chromosomes align at the center. 3. Anaphase – Chromatids separate. 4. Telophase – Nuclear membrane reforms.

5. Meiosis I: Reduction division - Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I Meiosis II: Similar to mitosis - Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II

6. The division of cytoplasm: - In animal cells: Cleavage furrow forms. - In plant cells: Cell plate formation.

7. 1. Growth and development 2. Repair of damaged tissues 3. Reproduction 4. Maintenance of genetic stability

8. Cell division is crucial for life. Mitosis helps in growth and repair, while meiosis ensures genetic diversity in organisms.
