After a T cell divides, it primarily takes on two roles: effector T cells and memory T cells. Effector T cells actively respond to infections by recognizing and attacking infected cells or coordinating the immune response. Memory T cells, on the other hand, persist long-term in the body, providing a faster and more efficient response if the same pathogen is encountered again in the future. This dual function is crucial for both immediate defense and long-term immunity.
Mitosis is when one cell divides into two.
A somatic, or body, cell divides into two genetically identical daughter cells.
When a cell divides, the nucleus divides first in a process called mitosis, ensuring that each new cell receives a complete set of genetic information. After the nucleus divides, the rest of the cell, including the cytoplasm and organelles, divides in a process known as cytokinesis to form two separate daughter cells.
Because each cell needs its own set of DNA, there must be two sets of DNA present in a cell before it divides into two.
The starting cell that divides into two identical cells in mitosis is called a parent cell or a mother cell.
