A parent cell, also known as mother cell, is the origin of other cells. It is a cell that splits to make two or more daughter cells. A parent cell can be the first stem cell in a line of expanding cells.

What is a parent cell?
The parent of a cell.
What does'' divsion '' mean?
is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells
Do all cells have a parent-cell?
All cells originate from a previous cell, and if there is only one of them it is called the "parent cell". In the context of reproducing, the cell made from a parent cell is called the "daughter cell".
How many cells are reproduced from one parent cell?
It depends on how the parent cell multiplies. In mitosis 1 parent cell devides into 2 cells. In meiosis 1 parent cell devides into 4 cells.
How many chromosomes are in one sex cell?
It depends on the parent cell. If the parent cell has 24 then the sex cell will have 12.
In mitosis how does a daughter cell compare with its parent cell?
A daughter cell and its parent cell are exact copies of each other.
Which chromosomes are found in a daughter cell?
Each daughter cell contains half of the chromosomes from the parent cell. Because the parent cell undergoes DNA replication before mitosis, the parent cell and the daughter cells will be diploid.
How many chromosomes does the daughter cell get from the parent cell?
In mitotic cell division, the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiotic cell division, the daughter cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
How many chromosomes does a parent cell have?
a parent cell is just one cell. during the cell cycle (mitosis) that cell splits in two
How does a daughter cell compare to the parent cell after undergoing meiosis?
They have 1/2 the genetic material of the parent cell.
How are daughter and parent cells alike?
Daughter and parent cells are alike because the daughter cell comes from the parent cell.
Are the cell created from meiosis identical or different from parent cell?
it is different from the parent cells because they split from the parent cells
