What are the importance of cell division in medicine and agriculture?

Answer 1

Cell division is essential for replacement of damaged cells and tissue repair and growth.

If we could completely crack how cell division works then we could use engineered mitogens (things that promote cell division) to promote and speed wound healing. Alternately we could use mitogens to cause plants to grow faster, allowing faster maturation of the plants, allowing us to produce more food faster.

Answer 2

I can only answer for Cell division in medicine. In medicines such as vaccinations and certain antibiotics bacteria cells are grown in petri dishes and then killed, and there cells are implanted with DNA from the disease that it is meant to immunize, and the body's white blood cells recognizes the DNA that was inplanted in the dead bacteria and thus you are immune to the disease

Answer 3

Cell division is the basis of growth. Understanding how cells divide, why and when this happens can let agriculture know basic facts to understand how to help plants grow, and grow larger. Plants that are more tolerant to disease, lower than normal levels of water and nutrition all can be better understood when the basis of cellular division is applied. Medicine uses cellular division understanding to base the construction of nanotube structures that will allow nano-mechanical engineering of solutions to disease and tissue loss. Growing new tissues can help burn patients and amputees regain their lost anatomy.

Answer 4

In medicine, cell division is crucial for growth, tissue repair, and regeneration. It is also essential for the production of new cells to replace damaged or old ones. In agriculture, cell division is important for plant growth, development, and reproduction, ultimately contributing to food production and crop yield.
