Cancer cells primarily undergo uncontrolled cell division through mitosis. This leads to the rapid proliferation of abnormal cells, which can form tumors and invade surrounding tissues. Additionally, cancer cells can also exhibit defects in the cell cycle regulation, leading to further dysregulation of cell division.
Cell division occurs once in mitosis, resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells. In contrast, cell division occurs twice in meiosis, resulting in four genetically different daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Cell Division
Mitosis
Cell division occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, cell division is mainly achieved through binary fission, while in eukaryotic cells, it occurs through either mitosis or meiosis.
Meiosis
The type of cell division that occurs in reproductive cells is called meiosis. Meiosis involves two rounds of division resulting in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This process is essential for sexual reproduction to maintain a constant chromosome number from generation to generation.
The cell division process that only occurs in specific cells and at specific times is called mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of multicellular organisms.
Mitosis occurs after DNA replication. Mitosis is the process of cell division where the duplicated DNA is equally distributed between two daughter cells. It ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
