1. Cell Division A Presentation on Cell Division With Regards to Saloni Lonare

2. Introduction to Cell Division • 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 in living organisms.

3. Types of Cell Division There are two main types of cell division: 1. **Mitosis** - Produces two genetically identical daughter cells. 2. **Meiosis** - Produces four genetically unique daughter cells for sexual reproduction.

4. Mitosis • Mitosis occurs in somatic (body) cells. • It consists of the following stages: - Prophase - Metaphase - Anaphase - Telophase - Cytokinesis

5. Meiosis • Meiosis occurs in reproductive cells to form gametes. • It consists of two consecutive divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. • It results in four non-identical daughter cells with half the chromosome number.

6. Importance of Cell Division • Growth and development of organisms. • Repair and healing of damaged tissues. • Reproduction in unicellular and multicellular organisms. • Genetic diversity (through meiosis).

7. Conclusion • Cell division is a fundamental process for life. • Mitosis helps in growth and repair, while meiosis ensures genetic diversity. • Understanding cell division is crucial for advancements in medicine and genetics.
