An amitosis is a direct division of a cell by cleavage of the nucleus without the formation of chromosomes.

∙ 8y ago
Amitosis is a type of cell division that occurs without the formation of a mitotic spindle and without the typical separation of the nucleus or cytoplasm. It is a rare form of cell division that is primarily observed in bacteria and some cells of lower eukaryotes. Amitosis does not contribute to genetic variation as it results in the formation of identical daughter cells.

What is amitosis?
A mitosis is simple refer for chromosomes.
3 parts of the cell cycle?
Mitosis,Meiosis,and Amitosis
What are the difference between mitosis and amitosis?
Mitosis is the formation of a new cell by the splitting of an old one, Apoptosis is the death of a cell. They can be considered the Life and Death of cells.
What is mitosis also called?
Mitosis is divided into 5 phases: Prophase Prometaphase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase This is often remembered using the acronym (or the phrase) PPMAT.
What is the difference between daughter cells produced by mitosis and daughter cells produced by mitosis?
Amitosis is nuclear division occurring without symmetry, and as such is a rather random type of division with without proper structure. Mitosis and Meiosis do differ in the number of daughter cells, mitosis with 2 and meiosis with 4. This, however, is also not a fair comparison, as mitosis and meiosis result in different types of cells.
Amitosis refers to what?

How many daughter cell are produced in mitosis and amitosis?
2 cells are produced by mitosis and 4 by amitosis.

What is another example of cell division besides meiosis ploidy mitosis and endomitosis?
amitosis
Another word that has the same meaning as the word mitosis and refers to division of the nucleus is?
Amitosis, meiosis
What is the number of daughter cell produced by amitosis?
Two daughter cells are produced during mitosis.
Why can an organ be damaged if its cells are amitotic?
Amitosis is the condition where cells don't divide, so the organ wouldn't be able to replace any of its cells.
Are Mesokaryotic Cells Human Cells?
No, since their nucleus divides through amitosis which resembles with the behavior of Prokaryotic cells, while human beings have entirely eukaryotic cells, which either divide through Mitotic or Meiotic division only. Dinoflagellates are the examples of mesokaryotes. :) ---- Jalaj joshi
What do other organisms have that prokaryotes don't?
Prokaryotes differ with other organisms in they don't have definite nucleus, nuclear envelop is absent. nucleolus is absent. no mitosis instead they show amitosis mediated by divisomes ( septasome ) which include the protein FtsZ ( filaments that are temperature sensitive Z ).
