1. Growth - by increasing the number of cells in tissues

2. Embryonic development - by producing more specialized cells to form many tissues, organs etc

3. Tissue repair - by replacing dead / injured cell

4. Asexual reproduction - direct replication of DNA, creating two identical daughter cells (usually for unicellular organisms such as bacteria to maintain a population)

Difference between nuclear division and cell division?

Cell division is when a cell splits in two to make more cells, and the cycle is where the cell does all the other stuff. A full life span of a cell is cell cycle that include cell division+ cell death and cell division cycle is the process of a cell to divide into two.


Explain why the terms cell division and mitosis should not be used interchangeably?

Cell division is a broader term that encompasses both mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm). Mitosis specifically refers to the process of nuclear division where a cell's replicated chromosomes are evenly distributed into two daughter nuclei. Using them interchangeably can lead to confusion and misunderstanding of these specific processes in cell biology.


What is the mitosis formula used to calculate the rate of cell division in a given population?

The mitosis formula used to calculate the rate of cell division in a given population is the number of cells in mitosis divided by the total number of cells, multiplied by 100 to get the percentage of cells undergoing division.


Cell division is impaired abnormal cell shape what is the cell organelle if these are the symptoms?

If cell division is impaired and abnormal cell shape is observed, the cell organelle most likely affected is the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is responsible for maintaining cell shape, supporting cell division, and assisting in cell movement. Disruption of the cytoskeleton can lead to issues such as improper cell division and shape changes.


What is period during the life of a cell when it has finished mitotic division?

The period after mitotic division when a cell has finished dividing is called interphase. During interphase, the cell carries out its normal functions, grows, and prepares for the next round of cell division.

What cell division used for?

Cell division is used for repair and replenishment of cells as well as growth (mitosis). Meiosis, another form of cell division, is used for production of haploid gametes (sex cells such as sperm and eggs).


Why should the term cell division and mitosis should not be used interchangeably?

Mitosis is the process of cell division and is completed by the cell completely dividing.

What do animals use a centriole for?

The centrioles are used during cell division. Centrioles migrate to opposite poles of the cell during cell division and are used to organise the spindles. They are also capable of independent replication and of migrating to form basal bodies.


Does mitosis occur in animals?

yes. mitosis is used in cell division


What other term is commonly used in place of mitosis?

Cell Division


Why is meiosis called reductional cell division?

Meiosis cell division is called reduction division because in this cell division the cells got from the parents cell is divided into half. So the daughter cells is haploid(n). Thus, meiosis cell division is called reduction division.


What is a that cell division solves the problem of cell growth?

cell division increases the mass of the original cell.
