There are two types of cell division in people, mitosis and meiosis. In Mitosis, the cell copies all its DNA etc, then moves chromosomes around, replicating them. These new chromosomes are then put into a new cell as the cell divides. this cell dividing or "splitting in two" is called cytokinesis. In Meiosis, gametes or sex cells are made. The same processhappens as before, but both sets of chromosomes divide again, producing 4 sex cells with 23 chromosomes in each.
Mitosis is the process of cell division where a parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. It involves several stages, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Cell division is the broader process of either mitosis or meiosis that leads to the creation of new cells.
Uncontrolled cell division leads to cancer.
No, Taxol works by binding to microtubules in the cell, stabilizing them and preventing their disassembly. This disrupts the normal process of cell division by inhibiting the mitotic spindle formation, which ultimately leads to cell death. It does not directly destroy membrane-bound organelles.
Cloning typically involves somatic cell nuclear transfer, where the nucleus of a somatic cell is transferred into an enucleated egg cell. This process leads to the creation of a genetically identical organism to the original donor.
A necessity of life.
Cleavage - the repeated cell division of the zygote to create a blastula.Gastrulation - the formation of distinct layers which later give rise to different structures.
Somatic cell division
Nuclear division (mitosis or meiosis) never occurs in interphase. Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell undergoes normal growth, DNA replication, and metabolic activities, preparing for cell division.
Meiosis: sex cell division Mitosis: animal/plant cell division
DNA is copied once during the process of cell division.

Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells.
